> Or maybe I just suck at prompting hehe

Every time someone argues for the utility of LLMs in software development by saying you need to be better at prompting, or add more rules for the LLM on the repository, they are making an argument against using NLP in software development.

The whole point of code is that it is a way to be very specific and exact and to exercise control over the computer behavior. The entire value proposition of using an LLM is that it is easier because you don't need to be so specific and exact. If then you say you need to be more specific and exact with the prompting, you are slowly getting at the fact that using NLP for coding is a bad idea.
