My minimal LLM instructions. These are the current ones for @jetbrains IDEs with their in-IDE AI in particular.
LLMs overengineer so easily. They have verbal diarrhea so readily. They have comments like “set a to 1” for lines like “a = 1” all the time.
This prompt reins them in … somewhat.
A lot of the bugs were after a copy paste, and error detection. I had been using it for years on the same projects, and it worked pretty good. But the new issues were seen first this year.
I went over to their youtrack, read other people’s comments and many had rolled back their version to the last release last year. So I did it too.
Then, after the second version this year someone said some of the new issues were still not fixed.
I’ll probably try it again today.
@limer I’m using PyCharm much more often than PhpStorm right now, but they do share a lot of their DNA. There were quite some exceptions being thrown with that AI integration stuff, last month, but that has all been resolved. Let’s hope the issues you ran into have gone too!
