Deniers should watch the movie "The White House effect". It's a great documentary that shows where and how the strategies of the oil companies changed.
Yeah, I wanted to try it on my (GitLab) repo as well, but it also said "No repositories found". Clicking "Index any public repo" pops up a dialog that says "Search for a GitHub repository" and "or Enter the URL of a public GitHub repository".
There is no "working prompt". There is context that is highly dependant on the task at hand. Here are some general tips:
- tell it to ask you clarifying questions, repeatedly. it will uncover holes and faulty assumptions and focus the implementation once it gets going
- small features, plan them, implement them in stages, commit, PR, review, new session
- have conventions in place, coding style, best practices, what you want to see and don't want to see in a codebase. we have conventions for python code, for frontend code, for data engineering etc.
- make subagents work for you, to look at a problem from a different angle (and/or from within a different LLM altogether)
- be always critical and dig deeper if you have the feeling that something is off or doesn't make sense
- good documentation helps the machine as well as the human
