It isn't like you can't write tests or reason about the code, iterate on it manually, just because it is generated. You can also give examples of idioms or patterns you would like to follow. It isn't perfect, and I agree that writing code is the best way to build a mental model, but writing code doesn't guarantee intuition either. I have written spaghetti that I could not hope to explain many times, especially when exploring or working in a domain that I am unfamiliar with.
- ajmurmann 2y agoI described how I liked doing ping-pong pairing TDD with Cursor elsewhere. One of the benefits of that approach is that I write at least half the implementation and tests and review every single line. That means that there is always code that follows the patterns I want and it's right there for the LLM to see and base its work on. Edit: fix typo in last sentence

- ajmurmann 2y agoUgh, sorry for the typo. That was supposed to be "can base its work on"
