For LLM generated code, it can also take a whole to read and understand. When I write code myself, I understand the intention, architecture, and so on. Machine written code is very different. I need to understand how it works. There’s often extraneous stuff in there or weird patterns.
I find that it basically can't do decent architecture. My last attempt to use it ended with it using casbin, but then rewriting it's own authorization framework and trying to use both at the same time 😶.
I think there is a lot of power here, but it needs very heavy guidance and handholding to do it well. Otherwise it makes very stupid intern level decisions
A friend has had good results using AIDD as an agent framework. It’s basically a built in project/product/scrum master that creates tickets and with that constraints.
Have you tried something like this?
