We really need a website to stop these models from churning out identical code.

To get production-ready code out of an LLM, you need to incorporate feedback loops and verification directly into the terminal session. 1. **Force clarifying questions:** explicitly tell Claude: "Ask me questions until you are 95% sure of the requirements". It eliminates the back-and-forth later. 2. **Incorporate auto-verification in To-Dos:** add verification steps to your task list. Example: "Build the UI, then take a screenshot and check for layout errors before asking for my feedback". 3. **The Early Exit:** if you see Claude heading down a rabbit hole, hit `Esc` immediately.

Not that long ago, the pitch was that newer models would make prompt engineering mostly obsolete. You would not need elaborate prompting to get optimal performance. You could just ask for what you wanted, and the model would understand the task well enough to do it properly. Now, with Claude, it feels like the opposite. You often need to build hard rails around the task just to stop it from doing the laziest technically defensible version of what you asked for. To be clear, you can still get good results. But it often needs constant preemptive reminders to be thorough. Not just one reminder...
