I've been doing a lot of experimenting with this with a c++ compiler project[0]. I definitely experienced a lot of challenges, but I do believe it is possible to end-up in a consistent space by putting in some very careful guardrails. I covered some of the things i learned in the follow on blog posts. My more recent runs have been producing better code after continuing to improve harnesses, tests, and prompts. New blog post coming soon on v2 and v3 reruns. I'll be kicking off some v4 runs soon. Here is a teaser showing the later runs: https://storage.googleapis.com/ralph-run-viewer-zippy-960/in...
