Thief and Thief II remain some of my most nostalgic PC games ever.

I can’t hear shit.

Both of those posts are cringe for entirely different reasons. Yet together, they are meme.

Yeah.I’m gonna go with block on this one. Thanks.

Some other weird bot user posted this earlier, to an incorrect community. Are you a bot as well?

Palm tree.

Epic shitpost.

If there was one room in the world a meteorite should have collided into at that very moment, it should have been that one.

Nah dawg.

Let her do butt stuff to you.

Honestly, if the bean isn’t pleased, then I’m not pleased.

Sorry, wrong sub. But I’ll leave the post.

But at a certain point, it seems like you spend more time babysitting and spoon-feeding the LLM than you do writing productive code.

I’ve found it pretty effective to not babysit, but instead have the model iterate on it’s instructions file. If it did something wrong or unexpected, I explain what I wanted it to do, and ask it to update it’s project instructions to avoid the pitfall in future. It’s more akin to calm and positive reinforcement.

Obviously YMMV. I am in charge of a large codebase of python cron automations, that interact with a handful of services and APIs. I’ve rolled a ~600 line instructions file, that has allowed me to pretty successfully use Claude to stand up from scratch full object-oriented clients, complete with dep injection, schema and contract data models, unit tests, etc.

I do end up having to make stylistic tweaks, and sometimes reinforce things like DRY, but I actually enjoy that part.

EDIT: Whenever I begin to feel like I’m babysitting, it’s usually due to context pollution and the best course is to start a fresh agent session.

This is extremely valid.

The biggest reason I’m able to use LLMs efficiently and safely, is because of all my prior experience. I’m able to write up all the project guard rails, the expected architecture, call out gotchas, etc. These are the things that actually keep the output in spec (usually).

If a junior hasn’t already manually established this knowledge and experience, much of the code that they’re going to produce with AI is gonna be crap with varying levels of deviation.

It’s been my experience that the quality of code is greatly influenced by the quality of your project instructions file, and your prompt. And of course what model you’re using.

I am not necessarily a proponent of AI, I just found myself being reassigned to a team that manages AI for developer use. Part of my responsibilities has been to research how to successfully and productively use the tech.

I’m 99% certain I lost a job I was really interested in, because my internet was experiencing service degradation during the video interview and it was affecting my stream.
