Today's challenge:
What's the difference between:
• COUNT(*)
• COUNT(1)
• COUNT(column_name)

One year ago, AI was helping me write code.
Today, it's helping me think.
Not because it has all the answers...
But because it challenges my assumptions, speeds up research, and helps me focus on solving the right problems instead of just finding answers.
The biggest shift isn't AI replacing developers.
It's developers who know how to collaborate with AI outperforming those who don't.
AI is no longer just a tool.
It's becoming a thinking partner—but human judgment still makes the difference.
How has AI changed the way you work in 2026? 👇

The most useful AI prompt I've discovered has only four words:
"What am I missing?"
I don't use it to get the first answer.
I use it after AI gives me one.
That's when the real value begins.
Sometimes it points out an edge case I overlooked.
Sometimes it challenges an assumption I was confident about.
Sometimes it suggests a simpler solution than the one I had in mind.
I've realized that AI isn't just a tool for generating answers.
It's a thinking partner—if you ask it to challenge your thinking instead of simply agreeing with you.
The first response is often the starting point.
The follow-up questions are where better decisions are made.
One small habit has improved my workflow more than any "perfect prompt."
So now I'm curious...
What's the one AI prompt you use that consistently gives you better results?
