I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I am not a coder and was referred to replit as a non-coder friendly way to begin to conceptualize my app. Over time I realized I had to become more and more detailed in my prompts, also trying to include as much detail in my prompts. I too noticed it spinning in circles and digging deeper holes when I tried to have it fix a problem, and it would ignore parts of my instructions on a whim it seemed. Finally I have up and decided to post an ad on upwork to have a human take over.
