outline and planning.
chatgpt needs all your requirements well documented, you can't just start asking for shit, its gonna make up what it hasn't been told is your goal. Typically devs don't plan because they have to learn the plan as they develop the real requirements as they go along.
llms work best with too much input and if you already know 99% of the tech stack and patterns and deployment env. you'll use.
they save you the typing, not the knowing what is needed.
This is a good way to frame it and exactly what I’ve found to be true (and obviously makes sense with how they work as well). Maybe I just need a formal block in every prompt to tell it to stop fucking adding stuff and just produce the small block for the specific purpose I requested.
I’m just sick of typing the same shit in over and over. I feel like 80% of my prompt is telling it what NOT to do, rather than what to do 🤣
yah i start by asking it to build the prompt that will build the content. have it prompt engineer it and also write in the end.
