my brain hurts from fighting and arguing with chatgpt. I think I'm going to spend some time learning functions because ai isn't a super master of programming yet.
Things would be easier if I actually understood functions

If you find yourself arguing with it I recommend to start fresh with a new session and establish a new context.
Sometimes it also helpful to have the outgoing session write a postmortem of its failure, with a focus on anti-patterns to avoid.
Sometimes it's context gets too big, or checkpoint inserted in a strange way so that it "knows" what it should be doing while simultaneously being unable to actually do it.
Postmortem, reboot, new session with postmortem as part of bootstrap, usually gets you on your way again.
this is some good advice. I've noticed what you say. If I close the window and start fresh it gets back on track. I must get confused especially since I copy and paste my whole code which is hundreds of lines into every chat.
I might be easier if I just learn basic programming.
