That said, after looking at a couple of your sessions, I don’t see anything you’re doing that I’m not—at least in terms of prompting. Your prompts are a bit more terse than mine (I can be long-winded so I’ll give brevity a try with my next project) but the structure and design descriptions are still there. That would suggest the differences in our experience boils down to the languages with which we choose or are required to work; maybe there’s a stylistic or cultural difference in how one should prompt a model in order to generate a Python project and how one should prompt for a Haskel or Scala/Java project; surely not though, right?

I’m not giving up and I’ll keep playing with these models but for now, given my use-case at least, they still seem to be far more capable at rubber-ducking with me than they are as a pair programming partner.
