How long was the script you provided as a prompt (roughly how many LOC)?

I’m curious because it seems like perhaps providing longer, detailed prompts (and then iterating) might be the best approach for getting coding help.

Thoughts?

Yes absolutely I’m explicit and have used with 100+ LOC easily on GPT4.

Remember to tell it is an expert XYZ programmer, that will actually make it produce better code.

iterative is best approach. I add one feature at a time. I also provide the errors/exceptions for fixing.
