I'm having a bit of trouble with the llm generating graphics because this is an area I don't know very well so I can only give it handwavy instructions and it sometimes does the completely wrong thing. this is why some people have so much trouble using llms I think, if you know what you're doing then it works but if you don't then it doesn't close the gap.

if this is true, this is a condemnation of the volumes of online comments from "real programmers" about how "it doesn't work". maybe the problem is you have years of programming experience but no software design experience and don't realize what a handicap that is.

not sure if this is what is going on, but a thought.

@sun do you know of any good books for learning software design? I design my stuff by heart, as I go, dunno if I do it well. Can dm my irl GH to evaluate if ya wanna

@mischievoustomato @sun I would recommend the Design Patterns - Elements of reusable object oriented software. It's more a technical book that talks about different pattebs(Singleton, proxies, Composite, factories,...) it won't teach you how to build a software ground up but it will help you to deal with design problems better

@kumicota @mischievoustomato there are so few books on actual practical "here's how to start and structure a project from the beginning"
