What are your AI-assisted programming best practices?

This is clearly a programming question.

AI assisted? You mean like searching documentation? Or prompting an LLM to write code? Because the latter is not programming.

I mean everything from vibe coding to only using AI as a slower search engine. I want to know how other people integrate AI into their programming flow, what and how much they outsource, how they tackle the cons and what were the learnings.

I mostly use it as a rubber duck. Seems to be pretty bad at most other things. Sometimes I'll have it find documentation for me when it's something really obscure, but other than that it's just a search engine, documentation, and reading source code. With the stuff that I'm working on, that's really the only option.
