Jacob Rockowitz: Vibing Drupal: Switching from "Brat mode" to "Drupal mode"

The useful part

As I've been experimenting with different AI models, I've observed varying behaviors. Instead, it would take an unreasonable amount of time to respond, with not much better code. I'm starting to feel like I have to track different models and modes, as if I were on a dating app looking for someone I'd be compatible with.

How it works

• Yes, I am humanizing AI, even though it is just an advanced pattern-recognition machine.
• Their theory was that the AI gets locked in a negative feedback loop and, instead of trying to please you, it leans into frustrating you.
• I am calling this "Brat mode." I ran into "Brat mode" while trying to fix a simple report with duplicate records that needed a minor query tweak and some display adjustments.
• My prompt was matter-of-fact, but the AI would still make one change and then revert another.
• It felt like I was dealing with a stubborn child who was enjoying my frustration.

What to take from it

Because I am using AI as a coding assistant, speed matters. Please restore them," and the AI failed to explain or fix the problem. Fortunately, I knew better than to play this game, so I had the AI create a slightly better prompt, started a new session using the improved prompt, and the AI fixed the issue immediately.

Details worth keeping

On Reddit, many people recommend running it at max, so I tried it. I assumed Luna Max would yield better results. Luna Max may be better suited for autonomous coding agents.
