I suck at prompting

Or maybe I just don’t trust the machines? Am I asking the wrong questions?

In any case, I feel frustrated by my inability to get results out of AI code generation. I feel like every time I try what feels like a good use case (e.g., “upgrade this Vue 2 component to Vue 3”) my AI ends up getting stuck in an error-ridden death spiral: I ask it to fix its errors and it just creates more, etc., etc.

Sure, I can prompt to prototype, I can get those cheap results fast.

But that next level code-gen, that full app-making magic, I’m just not getting it.

What am I missing?
