I actually do use ChatGPT for rubber-ducking, but in that context there is no (or very little) code. In a coding context, I've resigned myself to purely autocomplete-on-steroids.

The thing is, in the vibe-coding context (having the LLM write the code for you), I've had atrocious results across all of the popular LLMs.

This does seem like something that is worth getting to the bottom of. Why are some people having such good results while others do not. What is the secret sauce?
