If your team's mentality is "yeah the page loads slower these days but whatevs lmao" and nobody does nothing to improve things then you'll inevitably end with a broken mess of a site/platform

"Small issues add up" indeed!

yesterday I drafted out the structure in a file of how I wanted a feature to work, told it to confirm that it followed the intention of how the code should work (it apparently did based on its response) and told it complete it

ended up with a broken mess and many additional things I didn’t ask for

I’ve tried being specific and limiting the scope- I end up taking more time refining the prompt than what it would take to draft out the feature

I’ve tried giving requirements to be met on one or two files- I get so much boilerplate that I still need to review and end up throwing away

That has been my experience so far too, every time I try it I just can’t for the life of me be satisfied with the results I get

it feels like I must be missing something since every other post talks about how they produce millions of lines of code and ship three features per second with AI agents

This is the main problem I have with bluesky; I do want to enjoy it and I had started to make a habit of using it more because there is great content and people here yet I can’t seem to be able to hide from posts and topics that I’ve repeatedly pressed “show less” on

it seems more bad when it’s used as the direct primary output method in a field that had a higher bar. then people are incentivized to compromise on quality, and people in power often don’t understand or appreciate quality. so everything kind of gets shittier

just a relaxing url shortener (:

Not having to learn everything from scratch is the benefit of already existing, refined tools; but understanding how the tools work is the duty of the craftsman
