The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.
“100% every action that you take, use plan mode”
What It Means
Plan mode should be the default for all significant coding tasks, not an occasional feature
Why It Matters
This represents a fundamental shift in how to approach AI coding - planning first, executing second
When It's True
For complex tasks where quality matters more than speed, when working on production code
When It's Risky
For very simple tasks where planning overhead exceeds value, during rapid prototyping phases
How to Apply
Toggle plan mode before starting any complex feature
Review AI's plan before approving execution
Use planning as a learning tool to understand AI reasoning
Example Scenario
“Before building a user authentication system, use plan mode to have the AI think through security requirements, database schema, and edge cases before writing any code”
