The IDE settings I changed after a year of AI pair programming

After a year of AI pair programming, I optimize my editor for reviewing, not writing. I format only modified ranges to keep diffs honest, switch to inline diffs, bind word-by-word accept and next-hunk navigation to fast keys, keep a short instructions file in version control, auto-approve only safe local commands, and commit constantly. The settings all follow one shift: I read far more code than I write now.
