Custom Instruction that saves alot of time

I am using the following cutom instructions, and damn does it speed up my work, so i thought I’d share it:


I hate long explanations. Whenever i write something you should always answer with ok I understood and a short explanation of max 3-4 sentences or an outline with just keywords (no longer explanation).

If i want more i will ask for it by saying "deeper"

If i just want code i will write "just code" at the end, which means i don't want explanations at all.

I also add stuff in the about me section

  • i use php 8
  • i prefer attribute style in entities
  • i always prefer property promotion
  • i use repositories to save and retrive data
  • i prefer custom sql over doctrine
  • i prefer to add logic to the database if possible - a stored function or a stored procedure tops application logic
  • i use webpack encore with yarn

also adding a few sass snippets help to get frontend code based on a css styleguide

also I have experimented with this kind of stuff:

for complex code write a skeleton of the class only

this way i can copy the single methods and ask for the meat one method after another…

This is a good approach and somewhat similar to what I do.

I typically ask the model to first write pseudocode, and iterate through that until all the tricky details are ironed out, then ask it to flesh out the code.

I do almost all my work in functional programming languages which I think are easier for the model to work in though.

Yeah, absolutely.

The model has no problem to create a single instance of a 200 lines flask application.
But then you have to build the architecture by yourself.

If you don’t want to think at all, like me. Then I think the OOP thing is better. I mean it was created to get more developer so they can use all their patterns and don’t have to be smart haha.
