alt Hacker NewsSo, how much was hand-written after the initial 6 hours? It sounds like quite a bit. My experience has been very different. I haven't gotten to the point of releasing anything from AI yet, but I'll spend a weekend throwing prompts, then I'll have an application that does the thing that I asked it to do. I'll use the application over the next week or so keeping a task list of things that I'd want to tweak, bugs, or features that are missing, then I share that document with the AI and tell it to clear the list. If I'm building something with AI, I really don't touch the code. If there is a bad pattern the code, I flag it in my task list and tell the AI to fix it.
Yeah, I think not manually fixing issues, but telling the LLM to fix them and update its own documentation to reflect the fix, is a somewhat unpleasant but necessary approach. Otherwise, the LLM is just going to make the same mistake again elsewhere, or randomly revert your change, or get confused.
