- Whiteboarding with AI before coding improves code quality by allowing better problem understanding and design exploration.
- Using AI to plan in Markdown first, then executing with a more affordable model, results in better code and fewer bugs.
- Mermaid diagrams are a powerful tool in this workflow, enabling quick creation of system architecture, sequence, and entity relationship diagrams.
- This approach transforms learning new codebases by generating tailored documentation and diagrams that match individual learning preferences.
- The workflow is optimized with tools like mdserve for live Markdown previews and Neovim for quick edits, enhancing efficiency.
- Whiteboarding with AI shifts focus from typing code to thoughtful problem-solving and design, fundamentally changing the development process.
