alt Hacker NewsIf you just ask it to find problems, it will do its best to find them - like running a while loop with no return condition. That's why I put some breaker in the prompt, which in this case would be "don't make any improvements if the positive impact is marginal". I've mostly seen it do nothing and just summarize why, followed by some suggestions in case I still want to force the issue
I guess "marginal impact" for them is a pretty random metric, which will be different on each run. Will try it next time.
Another problem is that they try to add handling of different cases that are never present in my data. I have to mention that there is no need to update handling to be more generalized. For example, my code handles PNG files, and they add JPG handling that never happens.
