800101411Recently, I was working on a project for ASP.NET but ran into trouble when my project would not let me install NuGet Packaging. Rather than giving up, I worked through the messages and determined that, instead of downloading a new version, I simply needed to change the version number of the NuGet Packaging package that was already downloaded. This allowed my command to run successfully. Sometimes, seemingly difficult problems just require a cool head, a little reading, and some critical thinking.
Something else I am gaining proficiency in is efficiency. For long pieces of code, rather than rewriting similar sections over and over again, I simply copy and paste one piece of code multiple times and then revise certain elements as needed. This was the case with my recent DVDCentral project, which served as a follow-up to the Declaration project shown in the image above. This approach cut down quite a bit of time that day.
Finally, I am very efficient with AI. I use it as a tool, not as a replacement. When using AI, rather than asking it to generate code for me, I ask it to explain complex problems or break down certain pieces of code so they are easier to understand. I work with AI rather than letting it work for me. This method has helped me with my projects, allowing me to do my own work while using a more modern approach.
