Pretty much, except that I'm automating everything as much as I can, so that I just give the instructions and GPT does the rest. Here's an example:

-----

#import ~/work/gish/tasks/coding.txt

Change the following so that it looks for the open AI key in the following fashion:

1. env variable

2. os.home()/.openai

3. Throws an exception telling the user to put it in one of the above, and then exits

#diff ~/work/gish/src/LLM.ts

-----

Puts me in vimdiff comparing the old code with the generated code letting me review and cherry pick the changes.

Ya, that's pretty much my workflow as well. Though for my little web app, I could give it the whole ball of html/css/js each time.

I haven't seen anyone else describing this workflow. Feed it the existing code, ask it to modify/improve/fix the code and output a new version of all the input code, review diffs.

It has downsides, because you can easily run out of context window of chatgpt-3.5-turbo. But I am getting much better code out of it versus other approaches I've tried. And it's a very efficient and natural workflow -- we're used to getting and reviewing diffs/PRs from human collaborators.
