The better way rather than using a vague “make no mistakes” is to feed a template of stylistic preferences like “only var type this, only structures like this, we avoid certain structures or variable types” - as the context window is repeatedly compressed during work, “make no mistakes” probably gets contorted to, “mistakes! make!” then, “MISTAKES!!!”, like “NO, money down!”
Bonus points if the style is stored in the repo as a template, so when the change is done you can just simply go, “ok, now read that style doc again and fix what you re-f’d up”. Sometimes it’ll even go re-read the style doc itself of its own volition.
Using an LLM for dev is like directing an intern on 5 espressos to complete a coding task, but dumber.
