Your code is hard to read. Your keyboard shouldn't be.

Debugging at night and tired of squinting at the keyboard? A little extra visibility makes a difference.

Hint #1, Scope a Change Before You Prompt, is a free sample with a step-by-step routine:

Before you admire what the AI added, inspect what it removed.

Check the size of the change, deleted files, and removed blocks. Ask whether each deletion belongs in the request. Then review the additions.

A centered button is less impressive when the rest of the page disappears.

Before you ask an AI to fix a bug, explain it to a duck.

Write four things: what should happen, what actually happens, where you looked, and your hypothesis. That gives the assistant a problem it can investigate.
