Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

The biggest annoyance of “vibe coding” with ChatGPT is its incessant need to write an entire application every single time you ask it anything, when it becomes a mess of bugs and contradictions with even modest size.

Trying to get the damn thing to modularize each component and put them together coherently is something I have to explain over and over again. It just wants to write 1,000 lines of code every time even though it constantly fails at it 🤣

Anyone found the magic sauce LLM that actually already works this way and knows to keep things in small components by default?

Design is separate from writing code. When writing code ask it explicitly for single functions with specific inputs and outputs.

Write a function called fun that takes inputs x, and y. Does blah, and outputs z.
