The point is writing that prompt takes longer than writing the code.

Yeah, it's great for doing all of those little things. It's bad at doing the big things.

Luckily we can reuse system prompts :) Mine usually contains something like https://gist.github.com/victorb/1fe62fe7b80a64fc5b446f82d3137398 https://gist.github.com/victorb/1fe62fe7b80a64fc5b446f82d313... + project-specific instructions, which is reused across sessions. Currently, it does not take the same amount of time to prompt as if I was to write the code.
- lubujackson 1y agoHave to disagree with this too - ask an LLM to architect a project, or propose a cleaner solution and usually does a good job. Where it still sucks is doing both at once. Thus the shift to integrating "to do" lists in Cursor. My flow has shifted to "design this feature" then "continue to implement" 10 times in a row with code review between each step.
