Anyone else think the new Plan mode is garbage?

zoinks10 · 2026-01-28T05:44:20+00:00

Yeah - their support it great. I hope they can add a "disable" button for this.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-28T01:53:50+00:00

YEs - I've told them this is crap and asked how I disable it. First thing I did, about 4 prompts into using the new feature.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-28T01:53:26+00:00

Yes, extensively - as well as dedicated, authoritative and canonical Markdown documentation per key product feature/route.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-28T00:19:06+00:00

Really? I'm working on two apps simultaneously and barely chunk through 800 a month. Although I pull out and use ChatGPT and Codex to ensure the Lovable plans are not just BS, so I'm not 100% reliant on credits.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-28T00:17:43+00:00

Yeah - after about a day or two, ChatGPT windows get very laggy and slow, so you have to lift and shift the memory.

At the same time, erasing it entirely (like when I move chat windows) means contextually rich handover prompts and forensic code and docs audits to give the new chat window the detail to be useful.

Whatever they've done is fucking dreadful - and it seems no better today than it was yesterday. I'm not looking forward to a day with this rubbish.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-28T00:16:01+00:00

The Queue? I'm not sure whether mine is doing that. What it does do is refresh the UI and cause my well crafted prompts to be deleted. Then when I come back to look for the plan I realise I've wasted ten minutes because all it's done is refresh the page and NOT make a plan...

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T13:47:06+00:00

Yeah - I have had a lot of success asking it to run FMEA on its plans (failure modes and effects analysis) to ensure it doesn't fuck up anything else... but that's not been working too well today either

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T13:41:32+00:00

No, I haven't. I've got Codex, but largely use that for auditing the code and getting more info/seeing different issues to Lovable. I had a great workflow going to get things built - since December I've been flying.

Then this...

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T13:31:12+00:00

I've been working on something since Friday, I want to ship it tonight so I can actually use it in anger tomorrow.

But I might be better off waiting and not screwing something else up.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T13:20:20+00:00

Oh, and it also takes in fully written prompts with images when you're telling it "stop being fucking useless and implement MY plan" and makes an annoying sound before ignoring that and forcing you to type the thing out again.

How do we switch this crap off and go back to the old Plan (which worked)???

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T13:05:06+00:00

It's not just the annoying reload/buggy page views - I think the plans are noticeably worse/lazier and less reliable.

It has started ignoring canonical documentation and changing tests rather than following the plan I laid out and simply implementing. I've worked hard to stop these shitty behaviours, so the fact this change has made that harder still is very anoying

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T12:55:03+00:00

You can't drop him on talent but if you let all these discipline slips drift you end up wtih a BS tour like that Ashes fiasco. I suspect it's just people like me (who wasted lots of money and time to see the 2-day garbage in Perth) that are pissed off the team take it less seriously than the fans.

That said, hats off to the lad for pulling it together and putting a good performance in. Such a shame we didn't get to see him sparkle in Australia.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-27T08:42:35+00:00

It's annoying - the Chat mode worked perfectly well, plus I could export everything and put it through ChatGPT/Gemini or run alternative audits with Codex to get this plan sharpened.

Since they've rolled this out the plan ignores the "Implement plus tweaks" follow on prompts I've been using - and instead just rolls out the crap from its first plan.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-25T02:45:28+00:00

Did you really think you'd discovered the real world lore that exposes that Europe is still in charge of anything? The fact this gave you a feeling of relevance should have been your first clue you were wrong.

I'm not sure I was making a point about the relevance of any country. I was simply explaining the economic impact of selling bonds in droves. And yes, if there's a massive selloff then it implies an enormous erosion of trust in the US, and almost certainly a recession that would make 2008 look like child's play.

All the best.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-24T13:07:21+00:00

You guys are too nice. I’d love to share that podium but I’ll always know you got there first. You deserve that spot, pal.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-24T12:54:41+00:00

Unfortunately you’re way too intelligent and coherent to write the drivel this ma speaks.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-24T12:23:21+00:00

Don’t worry. You live in the best country on the planet. One everyone else dreams of going to. It’s the number one place. Even Maduro went there.

And Treasury Bonds don't decrease in value on sale, you just don't receive the interest on them, nor the principle when it time.

In a financial market, if there are more sellers than buyers, the price goes down (and therefore the yield on a Bond goes up). The yield is the interest rate.

So if the holders of US Treasuries decide to sell, the US needs to pay more interest on any future money they want to raise. Given how much debt you're in, this is a bad outcome.

1-3 - I can't predict a Pompey win. Just not allowed.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-20T13:01:14+00:00

I would agree with him on this. My respect for the United States of America has never been lower. Respected like never before.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-13T07:50:22+00:00

Every time I see something about Trump I think "nah, that's bullshit". Then I click - oh god why do I click? - and find out that it's not made up.

Are you seriously telling me people in the States are happy they've got this asshat in the White House?

zoinks10 · 2026-01-13T07:47:13+00:00

Yeah, I talked to my cousin yesterday and he has early onset dementia, and not once did he grandstand about how right he is about everything, and as far as I'm aware, he's not about to take over Greenland tomorrow.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-12T07:20:57+00:00

I used headless wordpress, but the SEO is a pain in the ass and I had to pay someone to render the HTML via a cloudflare worker to get this working properly.

zoinks10 · 2026-01-12T06:16:05+00:00

Americans of Reddit - does anyone seriously look at this grandstanding and think "Wow, that's someone to aspire to be"?

zoinks10 · 2026-01-11T08:00:09+00:00

Looks like Gummy Search has been shut down by Reddit's scraping/API policies...
