Ok, but in this case you can just throw away the tree and a new one will grow immediately for you to review anew. Rinse and repeat.
I'm not saying the author's proposed approach is never the right one, but there is a meaningfully different approach between the two suggested. You can look at the result of a fully autonomous agent, note the issues, tweak your prompt + inputs and then start over. You get the benefits of more closely-steered output without the drag of having to constantly monitor it synchronously. For some things, this approach is token-wasteful, but for small (yet critical / high-value) features, I have found it to work quite well. And an ancillary benefit is that your starting prompts and inputs improve over time.
- aDyslecticCrow 1y agoBut once you have carefully inspected 8 trees and thrown them away, you may need to start from sapling after-all. And what about when you need a Forrest? Seed from trees grow new trees. A whole Forrest cannot be inspected and discarded over and over. > but for small (yet critical / high-value) features These are the features than need the human attention. These are the features that are the most fun for a human to make. These are the features that make the human improve the most. So it's the last ones i would leave to the AI.
