Allen Bargi argues that working with AI resembles leadership more than traditional coding because the same request can yield different results—sometimes better, sometimes missing the point. He frames the practical response as investing in shared context, examples, corrections, and reusable instructions rather than treating AI like a compiler. The essay sparked substantial discussion on Hacker News, with commenters adding both agreement and criticism.

Why: If you're frustrated that AI outputs are inconsistent, the actionable shift is to stop writing isolated prompts and start building reusable context: examples, corrections, and standing instructions that accumulate over time. This is a workflow change, not a tooling change—you should decide whether to invest in that context-building habit or keep treating each interaction as a one-off command.
