← Back to context

Its not even innovation. I had a new Laravel project that i was chopping around to play with some new library and I couldn't the the dumbest stuff to work. Of course I went back to read the docs and - ah Laravel 19 or whatever is using config/boostrap.php again and no matter what chatgpt, or myself had figured, could understand why it wasnt working.

unfortunately, a lot of libraries and services - well I don't think chatGPT understands the differences or it would be hard to. At least I have found that with writing scriplets for RT, PHP tooling, etc. The web world seems to move fast enough (and RT moves hella slow) that its confusing libraries and interfaces through the versions.

It'd really need a wider project context where it can go look at how those includes, or functions, or whatever work instead of relying on 'built in' knowledge.

"Assume you know nothing, go look at this tool, api endpoint or, whatever, read the code, and tell me how to use it"
