For case 2, I've had a lot of luck starting with asking the LLM "I have experience in X, Y, and Z technologies, help me translate this project in those terms, list anything this code does that doesn't align with the typical use of the technologies they've chosen". This has given me a great "intro" to move me closer to being able to understand.
Once I've done that and piked a few follow up questions, I feel much better in diving into the generated code.
- blks 1y agoSo you basically read some articles about how frontend works, and that helped you understand frontend code better.
- saratogacx 1y agoNot quite that reductive. More of, I thought about what would be the exact page/article that, if it exists, would get me started, and used the description of that as a prompt to the LLM "Learning X for people that know Y". This is especially useful because X is now curated to what you're actually working on and Y is curated to what you already know.
