Improving AI results
You'll get stuck. How to escape rabbit holes.
Everyone gets stuck, including engineers. Usually you can get yourself out.
- Ask the AI what happened and what went wrong, before asking for a fix.
- Paste the whole error back into the chat, along with what you expected to happen.
- Ask to go back to the last version that worked.
- Nudge the AI to find the root cause and fix that, not add a bandaid.
