AI Needs Curriculum, Not Better Prompts

You've been there. The prompt that should work. The rephrase that feels clever. The context you're sure will fix it this time. And the AI just keeps barreling forward ... confident, eager, completely lost. I was in that spiral over a year and a half ago, trying to get a module refactored. Each exchange felt like I was getting dumber. The AI wasn't being difficult. It was being helpful in exactly the wrong way. That's when I wanted to throw my monitor out the window. Not because the AI was wrong.
