you only end up in a loop if you don’t define what you want clear enough. clarity has outcome, acceptance criteria, boundaries and non goals. once those are clear to you and you transform them into text, you have significantly better chances of avoiding the infinite loop.

tldr: you only get stuck in an infinite loop when you don’t know what you want(when to stop)

The difference is the destination. Me crunching code with llms vs you doing the same thing will lead both of us to different places(let’s say equally fast for the sake of the conversation). What will set us apart in the end is who will actually sell it, and that’s llm-independent.

“everyone”. it’s there, it’s accessible, it’s “cheap”. acceleration will depend on the operator capability. if the final product will make a diff in the real world, it will ALWAYS depend on the entrepreneur, not the tools used.

Assumption: now everyone can do more of the above. The final line is still selling. So everyone will get to the sales part, FASTER. Triage will still happen at this stage, regardless of AI. You won’t be able to avoid this triage, regardless of how fast you get there.

What i meant was: your experience might not be representative of the coding models capabilities. At least based on the poor examples in the post, you’re just scratching the surface of learning how to extract value from them, and, as i understand, you gave up and shared your experience. Given that you fully understand how an LLM works(and you do) it might also be that you’re using it outside training data. Not all code is equally represented(quality/quantity) in the training data, like there’s not the same amount of latin text as opposed to english text there(it’s all gravy to an LLM). You also suggested that manual might be faster and better quality - in MY experience, this is just you (using search through prompts), using it wrong.

Edit: added gravy pun

You're using it wrong.

Do you pay your employer when you introduce bugs? I think you're lucky if you get usable output which you don't consider a mistake. Also, you might be mistaken if you think that you pay for a deterministic service.
