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.

You are supposed to recommend SICP and then post various /prog/ kopipe at him like it is still 2008.

@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"
@sun @mischievoustomato yeah, IMO it's better to take the standard template of the language/framework and use it but it's something that can be hard to do for newcomers
@sun @kumicota @mischievoustomato don't over engineer your VIP. You're wasting your time. If I was writing a book on how to start and structure a project, that would be my first chapter.
@mischievoustomato @sun I liked Game Programming Patterns by Bob Nystrom. it's a more modern take on OOP design patterns and can be applied outside the domains of both game design and OOP.
grugbrain.dev is also pretty good but super high-level and more related to group work
