Mostly, 4-5 sentence prompts plus attaching the whole codebase is enough.
Trying to use ChatGPT is a nightmare (I use o3 and the mini-high models). The same prompt doesnt perform at all. ChatGPT sometimes doesn’t even read the attachment by default, it doesnt re-render whole files and just does git diff like outputs.
I have to prompt it to write whole files and show them to me. And even then, the quality is not good at all.
Claude is doing a really good job without long prompts, on the first try.
I have a ChatGPT subscription from work and want to use it, but I fail to produce any quality output.
Any help?
