There are a lot of people declaring this, proclaiming that about working with AI, but nobody presents the details. Talk is cheap, show me the prompts. What will be useful is to check in all the prompts along with code. Every commit generated by AI should include a prompt log recording all the prompts that led to the change. One should be able to walkthrough the prompt log just as they may go through the commit log and observe firsthand how the code was developed.

I agree, the rare times when someone has shared prompts and AI generated code I have not been impressed at all. It very quickly accrues technical debt and lacks organization. I suspect the people who say it’s amazing are like data engineers who are used to putting everything in one script file, React devs where the patterns and organization are well defined and constrained, or people who don’t code and don’t even understand the issues in their generated code yet.


Moreover, show me the money!!
