They always are. When you think you’ve got it all… ya don’t.

Unfortunately this recent experience wasn’t that as much as it producing rapid-fire misses when it did have the constraints. It regularly just violated X to kinda-solve Y. Or made up a solution to both that solves neither. And this wasn’t some wildly complicated scenario.

Sure made me solidify some opinions (we ended up pretty close to where I had started without it), but woo-boy… it was a painful journey.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to throw out the current solution and start over/rollback. AI will go down some weird rabbit holes to solve a problem with the wrong requirements. Sometimes I feel like I'm just coding in English instead of Python or TypeScript.
