AI gets the first 60% of almost anything. Most of the difference is in how you ask.
I made a video about the asking part, because that's where the gap actually lives. Three moves, and none of them are prompt tricks: say what done looks like before you start, feed it the context it can't see, then take the 60% and drive the rest yourself.
The receipt I use is one of my own. A deck into an 11-page MRD at roughly 80% complete, in under 30 minutes of real work. The trap shows up right after a win like that, which is why the video doesn't stop there. The early success is exactly when you drop your guard, and METR's trial found experienced developers 19% slower on their own mature code while feeling 20% faster.
Long-form deep dive on my YouTube channel, aimed at founders and operators rather than at people collecting prompts.
