Forget the endless back-and-forth just to squeeze out some code. Start externalizing your thinking. Learn to prompt with structure, map out your app’s architecture in writing, and even borrow a few coaching moves. The clearer you express yourself, the better your code becomes. Shifting from “what should I type?” to “how should I teach this?” gets you better results — in your code and in life.
Working with LLMs is like mentoring a brilliant but easily distracted intern. As Django developers, we're not just coding—we're guiding, correcting, and collaborating. Want to build faster with LLMs? Start by slowing down. The key is learning to turn fuzzy requests into clear direction. Do that, and your LLM becomes more than just a tool—it becomes a capable assistant, ready to follow your lead as the senior developer.
