Be intentional about how AI changes your codebase

To maintain a well-structured codebase, use semantic functions as building blocks that are minimal, self-describing, and unit-testable, and pragmatic functions as wrappers around complex logic. Effective data modeling involves enforcing correctness, using precise names, and avoiding loose typing to prevent bugs and make code easier to understand and maintain.
