You use the same AI model as everyone else. You send similar prompts. But some developers get dramatically better results from AI coding tools. The difference is not the prompts — it is the context. Research shows that the same AI model swings from a 42% success rate to 78% on coding tasks based purely on the context it receives. That is not a small improvement.
