@lkanies@hachyderm.io yeah, I tend to guide it on code architecture minutiae but same when it comes to web I don’t know a lot so I can’t make it not be dumb.
There is a config setting somewhere where you can tweak its work approach and if you set to teacher or learning it will explain a bunch and ask you things about its explanation etc and I found that helps me help it do better but yeah injeeently it’s dumb and does dumb things and need a grown up in the room.

@ripienaar@devco.social @lkanies@hachyderm.io this is where I don't see the benefit of LLM generating code. If it's not the right architecture and also wrong on several details, then I'm rewriting bad code with a bad foundation. Seems easier to start from a blank slate. There is some utility in being able to quickly sketch out multiple designs, but it's all disposable. Like any code generator, you can't use it after edits, but it's also not deterministic so you can't just regenerate.
