Not so sure given how fast ai can understand the code already written
Personally, I do try to keep a comment at the top of every major file, with a comment with bullets points, explaining the main functionality implemented and the why
That way, when I pass the code to a model, it can better “understand” what the code is meant to do and can provide better answers
(A lot of times, when a chat session gets too long and seems like the model is getting stuck without good solutions, I ask it to create the comment, and then I start a new chat, passing the code that includes the comment, so it has better initial context for the task)
- croes 1y agoAI doesn’t understand that’s the problem. If the training data contains some mistakes often it will reproduce them more likely. Unless there are preprogrammed rules to prevent them.
- nico 1y agoI’ve had really good results, but of course ymmv As a side note, most good coding models now are also reasoning models, and spend a few seconds “thinking” before giving a reply That’s by no means infalible, but they’ve come a long way even just in the last 12 months
