heyabusiddik argues most people use Claude with one-liner commands like "do this" or "fix this error," treating a senior AI like a junior intern. He shares 8 copy-paste prompts, headlined by a "Senior Engineer Prompt":
- Set the model as a 15+ year senior engineer
- Require it to first understand architecture, existing patterns, dependencies, and business requirements
- Evaluate the best approach, identify risks, and explain reasoning before coding
- Then implement clean, maintainable, production-ready code following project conventions
