Shifting Your Mindset

The biggest challenge isn't learning CodeSnipe - it's unlearning your ChatGPT habits. While some skills transfer, CodeSnipe requires a fundamentally different approach to AI interaction. Think of it as a real development partner rather than a query-response tool.

The most successful CodeSnipe users embrace three key mindset shifts:

1. Think Like a Senior Developer

You're not here to write code - you're here to guide development. Your role is to think strategically, make architectural decisions, and review code. Let CodeSnipe handle the implementation details while you focus on the bigger picture.

2. Trust the Process

We've all caught ourselves thinking "I could code this faster myself." Sometimes that's true for a specific feature, but it's rarely true for the project as a whole. Trust the pair programming process. The time you spend planning and communicating pays off exponentially as CodeSnipe learns your codebase and preferences.

3. Embrace Continuous Learning

Your first few days with CodeSnipe will feel different - maybe even frustrating. That's normal. You're building new mental muscles and learning to work at a higher level of abstraction. Focus on developing good habits now, and you'll see your productivity skyrocket within weeks.
