I can go long session with it making great code.

But the first time I say “No, it should be …” it’s nearly game over. If you say it 3+ times in a row, you’re basically doomed.

Sure, you can get it to fix the bug, but it comes at the cost of future prompts often barely working.

I second that experience.

The moment I hit the "no, it should be.." point, I know it's the end of it.

Sometimes I can salvage something by asking for a summary of the work and reasoning done, and doing a fresh restart. But often times, it's manual corrections and full restart from there.
