> I once again ask Claude Code to fix the bug, this time including the little bit I learned in #3. Claude Code fixes the problem in one round.
Context is king, which makes sense since LLM output is based on probability. The more context you can provide it, the more aligned the output will be. It's not like it magically learned something new. Depending on the problem, you may have to explain exactly what you want. If the problem is well understood, a sentence would most likely be suffice.

I feel this falls flat for the rather well-bounded use case I really want: a universal IDE that can set up my environment with a buildable/runnable boilerplate "hello world" for arbitrary project targets. I tried vibe coding an NES 6502 "hello world" program with Cursor and it took way more steps (and missteps) than me finding an existing project on GitHub and cloning that.
Absolutely! What surprises me is how rarely I actually have to get all the way down to writing the code myself.
