  • A pattern to work well with software generated by LLMs: start with the smallest artifact that works and then build on top of it.
    • If the first iteration doesn't work, don't try to keep building on it.
    • Iterate until it works, then build on it.

    • Only build on top of things that work.
    • Putting more on top of a thing that doesn't work makes it more likely to never work.
