The AI-Powered Developer: How to Use Cursor, Claude, and Copilot to Code 10x Faster

By Thompson Carter Carter

AI does not replace developers. It multiplies the best ones.

Modern software development is no longer about typing faster-it is about thinking clearly, guiding AI effectively, and maintaining control over the output. Tools like Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot are reshaping how code is written, reviewed, and refactored. This book shows how to use them as serious engineering tools, not gimmicks.

The AI-Powered Developer is a practical guide to integrating AI into your daily coding workflow in a way that improves speed, quality, and confidence-without sacrificing craftsmanship.

Why AI Changes Developer Productivity

AI tools are most effective when developers:

Provide clear intent and constraints

Review output critically

Maintain architectural ownership

Use AI to reduce cognitive load, not judgment

This book teaches how to stay in control while moving dramatically faster.

Code Faster Without Losing Control

If you want to use AI to accelerate development while preserving quality and intent, this book gives you the workflows, mental models, and best practices to become a truly AI-powered developer.

Think clearly. Prompt precisely. Ship faster.
