Most people approach AI coding help wrong. They either ask for complete solutions they don't understand, or get stuck in endless debugging loops. Technical Translators use AI as a bridge between intention, and implementation.
Amateur Technical Approach: - "Write me a program that does X" - Copy-paste without understanding - Endless error messages - Give up in frustration
Technical Translator System: - Collaborative development - Understanding-first approach - Incremental building - Error learning loops - Business-to-code translation
The difference transforms technical tasks from impossible to achievable.
