Lately, one of the most practical things I've discovered is using AI to generate Mermaid diagrams. Not only does it help me quickly understand how to approach tasks and improve efficiency, but more importantly, it also makes it much easier for me to explain things.
While drawing diagrams myself has become second nature and fairly quick, being able to describe them in words often means I truly understand the whole picture. Jumping straight into diagramming, on the other hand, can sometimes lead to only a partial understanding.
From what I've observed, many people are leveraging fear to generate attention and traffic. However, those who actually use AI aren’t really affected by this. Beyond waiting for AI models to improve, the more critical skill is the ability to describe context and problems clearly. In a way, prompt engineering isn’t all that different from human communication.
