Yah this works for me and I'm not a SWE. I use it to make marketing websites. Sometimes it will do something perfectly but mess up one part, if I keep getting it to fix that one part in the same session almost certainly it's never going to work (I burnt a week this way). However, if I take it into a brand-new GPT sessions and say here is this webpage i wrote, but I made a mistake and the dropdown box should be on the left not the right, it can almost always fix it. Again, I'm not really a SWE so I'm not sure what is going on here, but if you click the drop down on that "Analyzing" thing that shows up, in the same session it seems to try to re-work the code from memory, on a new session if you look at the drop down Analyzing thing, it seems to be using a different method to re-work the code.

Interesting - I almost always iterate on code in the same session. I will try doing it with history off and frequently re-starting the session. I naively assumed the extra context would help, but I can see how it's also just noise when there are 5 versions of the same code in the context.

How do you not let it read the buggy code but also take it into a new session?
