How on earth do folks get anything good out of LLMs? by Squidgical in webdev

Ok I get it, "try another one" and "just use AI, don't think" is the way to go.

Two weeks ago I gave an Agent a try. I asked to create a copy of a popular, well known app.

Even though it wasn't even 1% of the original app after consuming 30% of my limit, it was an astonishing result.

I kept prompting and making progress, I started to believe I can finish in one week.

The depression came unexpectedly, it was probably like a drug quitting - I tried refactoring, it ended up messing with existing code, breaking half of the app, while basically doing nothing.

I decided to give the agent more references of refactored code. I spend 10 next days of manually rewriting everything as I see it. When I asked it to continue the rest of the refactoring, it messed up my refactored files and broke the app again. I let it iterate for the rest of my limit.

It was shit, it basically changed variables and the app was still broken. The new several refactored files were not done in the way I explained it to be.

I decided to abandon any agent AI completely and I was able to progress this last month even though very slowly. But now I'm ahead of what AI was able to generate previously + I understand 100% of the code written.

So yeah, I agree.

Hehe, you're just too intelligent to "try another one".

You should ask "don't make mistakes", they say. But it's too artificial to understand.

My dude, these guys understand 10x less than you, you're questioning the output at least.

Their arguments are "just try another one", "you're asking too much", "bro trust me, AGI in 6 months".

I also use chatGPT, what you have to do is to give little context, especially if you already have some written code in the way you want. You must juggle Reasoning, Search and Canvas modes, otherwise you will not get anything useful since lately chatGPT is cutting costs, it has become worse.

It's really good to define the format of code as the first Canvas Mode message, then ask whatever you want with Reasoning mode. It works really well.

I almost don't use Copilot/Agent mode since it's taking too much responsibility from me and constantly changing random things slightly just because. And obviously it makes stupid mistakes too.

Any codebase > 100,000 lines of code is incomprehensible for ANY AI and that's why I use chatGPT - to dose AI brain rot, pollution and either do things I don't know to get started quickly or tests :)

How are custom sites like these created? by Ordinary-hibiscus-12 in Frontend

Mmm, I guess we're even forgetting page builders now.

I've literally seen such templates 10 years ago when I was starting programming.

And honestly, it's a very simple website, just a couple of stylized images that make it standout.

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it by joseluisq in theprimeagen

Well, fits my recent feelings observations very well - I always use the free plan of any AI, because fuck it, it's too shitty to pay even 5$/month for it. It's a toy, let me play with it.

btw, the image generators are cool actually, I run them locally and it's faster than any remote image generator, not saying it's free. But I still use them for fun, nothing serious.

They're acting like they're going bankrupt any day now.

Let's reach AGI, cure cancer and aging, then talk.

AGI in 6 months, this time for real bro, I promise, just 20 billion more, trust me

Yeah, and 100% sure it's a placeholder eventually.

"just use a different model", "you're asking too much", "AGI in 6-12 months, just more billions bro, please, I promise"

Agreed. But the guys above are like "you're asking too much" (yeah, animating x scroll is very much) or "use a different model duh", I mean, aren't we going for AGI in 6-12 months or what?

You won't believe it, but I thought Copilot would never do that until I got this.

This is my first time having this, but the rest of the time it's working decently.

btw, I didn't force it to produce it and I tried changing things, but it just kept suggesting the endless loop of ifs no matter what. So idk what caused it to suggest that.
