I've had good results by prompting an LLM "review your changes" in the same session when I don't like the initial output.
I'm surprised this is effective: I would think it's redundant when you're running with a high effort setting.

I'm adding uptime data to my personal LLM bot. Does this information belong in the system prompt?
That was my initial plan, but I'm thinking that a tool would be better. Tools let me see information provenance ("queried the uptime tool").
There's also a small caching benefit.

Anthropic used Claude to write a C compiler in Rust (CCC). I've really enjoyed following the discussion.
The initial post shows how they wrote the harness with GCC as an oracle and a prompt specifying a design using SSA. The author has clear domain expertise.

Date of birth pickers are a surprisingly nuanced UI problem.
What do you pick as the initial value? How do you allow users to easily move by large amounts (years) as well as small amounts (the exact day)?
Defaulting to today and even allowing future dates is funny though.
