| Can this guy, or someone else post a full days (4-8 hours, or what ever is spent in the weeds) stream of work to youtube or something. I just want to watch the process to see what I'm missing. Or if there is anyone that already does that can they recommend it to me. I would appreciate it. |

| ▲ | pton_xd 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Got through about 45 min at 2x speed / some skipping ahead out of pure fascination. Man that's something else. It's like bug-driven-development. Get the LLM to churn out a huge chunk of text, then skim the code for about 10 seconds and say it looks good. Then spend a while testing and hitting one error after the next until it finally seems to work. Repeat. | |

| Web dev cody is great. I recommend him. I (author) sometimes stream my work here as well https://www.youtube.com/@operatelybackstage. |

| Are you saying that because you're also skeptical? I haven't had the best time switching to agent coding. I mean for throwaway work its fine but its kind of boring and aider still messes up from time to time |

| ▲ | osn9363739 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I probably lean on the sceptical side of the spectrum. I'm not against giving it a go if I can get value out of it but I'm not having the wonderful experience that these people are having.
- The asynchronous nature of it slows me down and it feels the opposite of what this bloke is saying around getting into a flow.
- I miss things because I'm not thinking it all the way through.
- The issues with errors or hallucinations.
- It does not feel faster (I might blow through a couple of things really fast, but the issues created elsewhere sometimes eat all that saved time up).
- The quality of work is all over the shop. Bigger projects just fall apart after a while.
I also wonder if the way I think is hindering me. I don't like natural language. I struggle to communicate at the best of times. All my emails are dot points. If someone asks me for a diagram I write it in plantuml or using a python library. I work in DevOps and love declarative manifests and templates. | | |
| ▲ | adriand 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Try as an initial step having the agentic AI improve your prompt for you. I have a "prompt improvement prompt template", which is a standardized document (customized for each project I'm working on), that has a bunch of boilerplate instructions in it, along with a section where I paste in my first-draft prompt. I then feed this document (boilerplate + crappy prompt) into the AI and it creates a way better prompt for me. Then I edit that to ensure it's correct, and then that becomes the prompt I use. |
