My brain cells trying to untangle this chain of AI dependency. Send help (and maybe a better prompt)
I’m using ollama to send help
Finally, progress!
ChatGPT, please summarize the docs.
imagine reading docs
You guys read docs in 2025!
I read a lot of docs today after quick AI prototyping got me nowhere. It's actually quite nice, the good old feeling of actually understanding what's going on. But it's a lot slower
Speaking seriously reading docs can save you 6hours of chatgpt debugging, and the cause of that is that chatgpt or any other model (claude...) are not aware of the latest update of a technology especially if you are using a modern Javascript framework or python library that gets a lot of updayes and maintenance.
I really want to read if there's one.
just read the docs, but they are generated by ChatGPT, and the authors have never read them.
It depends, if I am using a framework or a tool that has chatgpt generated docs I would drop it and use some alternative for it
So this is what the people on stackoverflow see when they see a new question
echo format c:/ -u
the struggle is real
Was the prompt about getting things from the docs?
Nahh, every body knows that the best course of action is to rely on the magic engineering box to know better than you do, nothing can go wrong with that
Isn't Perplexity a search engine? Including it in this process seems like something even a vibe coder should know is a bad idea lol
It's like an LLM equipped with a search engine.
semicolon!
This is...not a thing.
Why would I spend 3 minutes doing it myself when I can spend 3 hours refining prompts? This is the whole automation thing all over again, but worse because you actually still need to do it every time.
Isn't this a prompt engineer?
A senior prompt engineer would make a pipline for AI to sent prompts to each other
Do they just prompt each other until you run out of credits?
LLMs are honestly pretty good at writing prompts to LLMs. Give ChatGPT a paragraph or two and let it generate a full page or two of instructions, check it matches what you want, and put it back into ChatGPT or whatever other model you want to use

Then you just hire someone on Fiverr to do it.
Seriously, the last time I looked in the vibe coding subreddit, the top post was about how someone wasn't able to vibe code something and wound up hiring someone on Fiverr instead.
Fr Fiverr is the final boss of debugging. When all else fails, throw $50 at the problem and pray.
Or better yet make a pipeline for it and let it make it self You would pay for api instead of hiring someone its a lot cheaper and easier lol Edit: I am just kidding guys relax
It's also a lot cheaper to get your friend to perform surgery on you than it is to go to an actual surgeon. That doesn't mean you actually want to do that.
I too have seen prison face tattoos.
Sure, you could spend money on an API on to make the same vibe coded garbage, or you could just hire someone on fiverr to do it right the first time.
Bro It's a joke wth
