AI as Egineering Partner

The real value appears when Copilot understands:

Architecture

Examples:

  • Atomic Design
  • Feature-based Architecture
  • Domain Driven Design
  • Layered Architecture

Standards

Examples:

  • TypeScript only
  • Functional components only
  • Hooks only
  • No default exports

Workflow

Examples:

  • Create atom first
  • Create molecule second
  • Compose into organism
  • Add tests
  • Add Storybook story

Mini Exercise

Choose a small feature and split the work between what the AI should do and what the human should do.

Example

For a login feature:

  • AI: generate structure, implement components, create tests
  • human: define architecture, review security, approve behavior, validate UX
