It helps to write out the prompt in a seperate text editor so you can edit it and try to desribe what the input is, and what output you want as well as try to describe and catch likely or iteratively observed issues.

You try a gamut of sample inputs and observe where its going awry? Describe the error to it and see what it does

With that much time and effort, it seems inefficient compared to just writing the code yourself.

  • I got it to write me a tracklist generator for playlist downloaded videos and it honestly would have taken a lot longer to get it just right over the 5 quick iterations I was able to do with assorted LLMs. I could definitely hack it together but it was far more expedient to simply prewrite out a prompt and tighten up the iterations when I noticed an edge case from daily use
