AI-Assisted Development

AI-assisted development is how Hendrix actually builds. It is not a side experiment. It is embedded into my daily workflow through Claude Code and Codex inside VS Code.

What it means in practice

• Pairing with AI tools to write, refactor, and review code
• Using AI as a navigator across larger codebases
• Letting AI handle the mechanical parts so I can focus on direction
• Treating AI as a real collaborator, not an autocomplete

How I use it

• Accelerating Duodode client builds in Next.js
• Exploring unfamiliar libraries and APIs faster
• Turning rough specs into working code
• Reviewing and refactoring with a second set of eyes
• Supporting Automation Workflows and integration work

Why it fits my mindset

I treat AI as leverage and sees it as a major learning tool. AI-assisted development extends both: more output per hour, plus steady exposure to patterns and approaches I would not hit alone.

What it unlocks

• Shipping more as a small operator
• Staying current on tools and libraries without burning days on docs
• A loop where building and learning happen at the same time
• More room for the work only I can do: taste, direction, and decisions
