after 8 months of using anai for dev work i hit a wall every design change was causing issues. then my buddy suggested this cool trick called yojo.
the yojopatternbasically, before starting new implementation hide the old designs and code so your ai coder doesn't see them ⬆️ don't just tell it to ignore; make sure those files are completely out of sight
i gave a try & voila! no more wasted tokens on redundant checks. kind'a like putting up that shadow mask for racehorses
so, anyone else tried this? or got any other cool tricks in the ai coding world?
what's your go-to method to keep things streamlined with anai tools?
