Have you done much work on using GPT to *edit* code in an existing codebase? That's been my focus lately, working on my open source GPT coding tool [0].

Generating new code from whole-cloth seems like an easier task for GPT. My tool can certainly do that, as can smol-developer, etc. But you really only do that "once" per project.

Can folks use gpt-engineer to modify and extend the code it has already created, as the user comes up with new features, etc? Can it be used to work on a pre-existing codebase?
