I tried using it 2 years ago on a mid complexity webapp and it blew up in my face as soon as things got a little more complex. The hidden mechanics of everything made it absolutely horrible to debug. Including some serverside rendering issues in the svelte code base at the time. The pain wasn't worth it in the end. I'm probably never gonna touch svelte again without having to. Similar experience with preact. It works till it doesn't.

I'd recommend obsidian, works well on mobile and desktop, and documents are plain .md files in directories.

Some things to think about a) your prompt is ambigious in the sense of do you want masculine nouns or nouns prepended with "der". b) Prompting in the language you want the output to be usually results in better output. c) German is actually a really difficult case for articles as feminin nouns can be use "der" depending on context and meaning. Making it harder for LLMs to pick up. e.g. Die Welt dreht sich. Auf der Welt leben. Auf die Welt gekommen.

d) GPT4 is significantly worse in german and most other languages, than in english anyways.

Exactly. When the first news came out about it's ability to "understand" code, find bugs and improve uppon it, I tested it with some snippets of mine. It just gave boilerplate best practices you find on 100 of blogs, but was not able to make meaningful contribution. It claimed to have introduced a feature while only having found another way to write the same snippet. On other things it straight up invented variables & functions that didn't exist.

As long as the task is in it's training set, it can give you a decent answer, but it can't code it just mimics doing so...

Feels weird reading of all these same experiences. Since my childhood I always felt older than I was. Any body got a similar experience?

Try to shift your perspective, asking for help when needed is a strength. It means you know your limits, that your not infalible. Asking for help is often the most productive thing you can do.

It always feels bad not getting anywhere or even worse having to scrap past work, but not checking with others wastests everybodies time. Other people are waiting on your results even if you never meet them. And if nobody is able to help you can either try to plow through or accept defeat.

"but" expresses conflict, nuances and compromises. Life is not simple and our thoughts, actions and feelings are often not rational or in line with each other, there for dismissing anything before "but" is a way of actively not listening.

- "I believe in free speech, but some opinion are too abhorrent to be protected." -> Maybe free speech should not allow people to slander, extort, abuse people? Or at least not give them a jail free card.

- "I am sorry I reacted like this, but they went too far" -> This person can indeed feel sorry and feel somewhat justified, because maybe both parties involved did something worth being sorry for.
