then you're using it wrong, to be frank with you.

you give it tools so it can compile and run the code. then you give it more tools so it can decide between iterations if it got closer to the goal or not. let it evaluate itself. if it can't evaluate something, let it write tests and benchmark itself.

I guarantee that if the criteria is very well defined and benchmarkable, it will do the right thing in X iterations.

(I don't do UI development. I do end-to-end system performance on two very large code bases. my tests can be measured. the measure is very simply binary: better or not. it works.)

That’s what oh-my-open-code does.
