What's really funny is, if you copy its output, and start a new prompt, and ask it "From the perspective of Senior / Staff level engineer, what is wrong with this code?" and you paste the code you got from the LLM, it will trash all over its own code with a fresh mind. Technically you can do it in the existing prompt, but sometimes LLMs get a bug up their butts about what they've decided is reality all of a sudden.
When switching context in any way, I start a new prompt.
- lomase 1y agoI never use LLMs but what happens if you use the same code and write: "From the perspective of Senior / Staff level engineer, what is good about this code" Does it praise it?
- giancarlostoro 1y agoProbably points out the bits it got correct I suppose.

- jeffrallen 1y agoYou're absolutely right! /s
- mierz00 1y agoI do this to code I have personally written as well. Taking a step back and reviewing all my changes gives a different perspective and often find things I didn’t see when in the weeds.
