alt Hacker NewsMaybe it's because I spend a lot of time breaking up tasks beforehand to be highly specific and narrow, but I really don't run into issues like this at all.
A trivial example: whenever CC suggests doing more than one thing in a planning mode, just have it focus on each task and subtask separately, bounding each one by a commit. Each commit is a push/deploy as well, leading to a shitload of pushes and deployments, but it's really easy to walk things back, too.

I'm looking at the ticket opened, and you can't really be claiming that someone who did such a methodical deep dive into the issue, and presented a ton of supporting context to understand the problem, and further patiently collected evidence for this... does not know how to prompt well.
I noticed a regression in review quality. You can try and break the task all you want, when it's crunch time, it takes a file from Gemini's book and silently quits trying and gets all sycophantic.
I do the same but I often find that the subtasks are done in a very lazy way.
I thought everybody does this.. having a model create anything that isn't highly focused only leads to technical debt. I have used models to create complex software, but I do architecture and code reviews, and they are very necessary.
