My first use of Claude this week, for code reviews only(since no LLM can be trusted to write a user story or test suite), had it gaslight me.
It marked down my code for using a specific practice to make some xml safer and easier to read.
When I tried things its way, it wanted me to change it back.
I use it a lot, and if you are getting these kinds of results you are either trolling, or just flat out not providing the details and guardrails required with your prompts.
I’ve been in software for decades, and if used correctly, yes it can accelerate velocity of building code out. 10x? No.. if you are lucky and careful perhaps 2-4x.
As ALWAYS the human should be in the loop and is on the hook for any code generated.
You just need a better prompt, bro
Just gotta configure and tweak until it gives outputs you find indistinguishable from correct. Just gotta train it to gaslight you properly. Come on don’t you want to be given and endless stream of stuff that looks correct?
