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?

I’ve found it necessary to ask very specific questions regarding atomic pieces of functionality; “write a typescript function that does X.” And then a few follow up iterations usually gets me within spitting distance of what I’m looking for.

Raycast has some useful prompts for code questions you can copy/ paste even if you don’t use Raycast. https://ray.so/presets/code
