And that's why you ask for a high level plan for something like that before you let the agent write any code. Then you review the plan for flaws, revise it, and prompt the system to fill out more details for each step. Repeat as necessary. Yes it's slow, but it's the best way of using this "glorified autocomplete" to ease and speed up real work.
replyPeople that have never written their own code won't know what the flaws are.
replyWhat he’s saying is split this up into multiple tasks to create the table, insert the data etc
replyIsn’t that the hard part? If the tasks are small enough and well defined, where’s the win over just writing the code right there and then?
replyYou can use an LLM to generate that list of tasks.
replyAnd how does a new grad that's never actually programmed know whether that list of tasks makes sense?
replyWell claude can also refine it into smaller tasks and that’s where you can fix those major problems in production issues.
