Part 6 to me seems always totally useless.
Whenever I let these tools look at existing repos they are too influenced by what's already there.
I could even say "feel free to completely refactor or rewrite anything" and they'll still just do small performative changes.
I've now changed my workflow to only using AI for prototyping and rewriting by hand once I can see something is viable. Takes longer but the results are always much better.
- AndrewKemendo 3mo agoI don’t have those problems You have to build your architecture modularly so you’re never having to reason about more than the schema and api-contracts for IPC
- sureglymop 3mo agoWell... again, I'm giving the LLM total freedom to destroy what's there and start from scratch. That could nudge it to structure the code base more like that. It would be totally different if I told that to a junior developer. But imo LLMs don't really structure code well or as well as humans could.

Like the first thing you should do when talking to an LLM about a project is to have it discuss exit criteria, scoping, rules, and managing the smallest thing to ship to get iteration started
