POWER TOOLS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Every craft has a tool powerful enough to both create and destroy. In woodworking, it's the table saw. In software, it's the IDE. Mastering them takes patience, planning, and respect. The same rule applies to design and AI tools today: no-code and generators let anyone build fast, but speed without understanding leads to fragile results. They're great for sketches, not for structures meant to last. Knowing when to reach for power and when to work by hand is what separates craft from chaos.
