Coding With David

  AI-assisted coding has taken the software world by storm. You’ve probably already experimented with tools like Copilot, Claude, or Cursor. Maybe you’ve even tried “vibe coding” — typing vague prompts and letting the AI fill in the gaps. But as these tools evolve, so must our approach. The future isn’t just vibe coding. It’s Prompt Driven Development (PDD) — a structured, intentional way to guide AI coding assistants. Let’s walk through what that shift looks like, why it matters, and how you can start practicing it today. From Vibe Coding to Prompt-Driven Development 1. Vibe Coding At first, AI-assisted coding felt like magic. You typed a few words or half a thought, and the AI tried to complete it. Sometimes it nailed it, other times it wandered. Strengths: Fast experiments, fun discovery. Weaknesses: Inconsistent results, lack of repeatability, and hard to debug later. Think of it like jamming on a guitar: it’s creative, but messy. 2. Prompt Coding The next step forwar...

AI Generated by ChatGPT  With all the buzz around AI-driven development, it’s easy to think that productivity gains only come from smart tools, Copilot prompts, or automated code generation. But the truth is, some of the simplest wins still come from leveraging native HTML elements that Blazor fully supports. These underused tags can save time, improve accessibility, and create richer user experiences—without a single line of JavaScript or third-party library. Let’s walk through some overlooked gems and see how they help Blazor developers ship faster and smarter. <mark> : Highlight Text Like a Pro The <mark> tag highlights text with a yellow background by default. In a Blazor app, this is perfect for search results, field validations, or dynamic emphasis . For example, in a search component, you could wrap matching terms in <mark> to instantly improve clarity without custom CSS. <details> : Create Collapsible Sections The <details> and <summary...
