Hey,
I was working on a small feature today and, of course, internal error struck again.
I am not sure whether this workaround would work for everyone but it worked for me, so sharing with you in hope you will find it useful.
- Starting prompt: “[your feature description, user story, whatever]. Do not code. Break it down into smallest logical code changes or tasks including a goal, a list of actions and detailed changes you want to implement.”
- AI responds with the plan. 2.5 Pro is good at it.
- Iterate on the plan till you are happy.
- Once you are satisfied: "Write this plan to /docs/your function or feature name.md
- Switch to 2.5 Flash or built-in.
- Prompt: “Read and understand /docs/your function or feature name.md. Implement task 1.1”
- Test and move down the list till completed.
It worked couple of times today for me.
Benefits:
- negligible amount of internal error terror.
- expensive 2.5 pro only used for planning. Flash is good on its own but I noticed it is better when following pro structure and just adding here and there.
- documentation writes itself.
cheers
