A debugging habit that improved my code quality:
When something breaks, I stop guessing and reproduce the issue in the smallest possible environment.
Steps:
1. Remove unrelated code
2. Isolate the failing function
3. Test with controlled inputs
Most bugs become obvious once the noise disappears.

One thing I’ve learned from working with clients is how important clarity really is.
Not just for the client — but for me as the developer too.
Early on, I used to jump into building pretty quickly.
The design looked good, the idea made sense, and I’d start implementing.
But over time, I realized that even small gaps in clarity can create friction later:
uncertain expectations, small revisions, or features that weren’t fully thought through.
Now, I try to slow down at the start.
Asking questions.
Understanding the goal behind the project.
Making sure we’re aligned before writing too much code.
It almost always leads to:
• smoother development
• fewer revisions
• better final results
And honestly — a much better experience for everyone involved.
Clarity at the beginning saves a lot of time at the end.
Something I’m still improving, but it’s made a big difference in my projects.
So true
AI is complex.
The interface shouldn’t be.
