This is what fascinates me. I have a friend, also a smart guy, who has made it to the point he’s at by being a kind of solutions expert. He’s an IT guy, basically. He’s very technical but has never claimed to be a software engineer. He’s writing software with Claude now. The other day he sent me a screenshot of some other team at his work asking him to shut off something he made that was brutalizing an API of theirs. I asked him if he had ever heard of a 429 or exponential back offs. He said no. How do you meta-prompt for that without knowledge?

You can create an agent in Claude with the role of Technical Lead / Architect and have it review your code. That depends on your agent specification. Just have ChatGPT generate that first.

If you get the logs you can feed them in and ask for improvements, that sometimes helps.

But even then, you have to know to do that. It feels like a bit of a turtles all the way down situation, no?
