No one claims their showels find gold for you.
With any model I've tried I've found it to be a huge pain to have it fix things where it made a wrong assumption without the code becoming a mess and burning a lot of tokens. I'm aware that not everyone works like this but I'm still very opinionated on what the end result should look like so I can still work on it without an LLM.
My workflow is usually:
- read file. I want to achieve X, how do? Do not implement anything.
- I would do a, b and c
- sketch a brief implementation of your suggestion
- <code> (not writing files yet)
- instead of your approach x, wouldn't it make sense to instead do z? What would that look like?
- <code>
- nice, implement this
- starts writing files, run tests, etc.
A welfare state maybe?
There was a time where I was often stuck for an hour with nothing but my phone and I kept copying file contents into chat for context so I made this and it works surprisingly well.
