  • How did you use LLM for coding? IDE integration? Prompt chat? Explaning the problem and hoping to one shot it? Genuine question, no judgement.

    I have only ever chatted with LLMs for code, refining the output until it does what I need it to. An example of this would be “I have a stream of bytes in Delphi, convert it to UTF-8” as starting prompt and updating with “don’t use X” or “use method Y”. It mostly works and sometimes it does not. It is very useful when I cannot find the solution on forums etc (or if my knowledge of Delphi is not good enough to extrapolate from what I can find).

    I do not think I have ever asked it to create anything bigger than a function (except this one time I created a C# application mostly with ChatGPT because learning C# was too much effort for a one-time side project).
