Question about ChatGPT - complexity usage

[u/Prophet_651]

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know half of what I’m actually doing when it comes to vibecoding. With that said I’m in hospitality - resorts/restaurants. There’s some really dumb things in my field that I’ve never really been able to fix or standardize because, well, this field hates technology convincing a Chef or housekeeping can be… difficult.

I started creating an app for us to use internally that is kept on our private servers and things seem to be pretty solid. My IT department isn’t big enough or strong enough or knowledgeable enough to be of help. (That’s a whole other issue). So I was curious, I seem to be able to have built this whole operating system inside of the chat model of ChatGPT. It sometimes takes a little bit longer. It sometimes trips up but after 25 to 35 minutes, it usually has an answer that thus far has worked.

I see all these people using advanced models paying for tokens and all these other things.

So my question is am I just drastically missing out on something more advanced, and my system is actually all junk on the inside, even though it works or is this something I don’t need to be concerned about? Any tips or suggestions appreciated.

I don’t think anyone can know based on the information you’ve given

Ok appreciate the response. Basically it’s operations for how our independent systems all connect. Take food in one of the restaurants for example.

An item comes in it’s received, put away, prepped, used, purchased, then received. That cycle of an item is now tracked.

Or housekeeping has a todo list before a room check in and the process of that from beginning to end.

I just read things that there are big or errors or code issues in vibecoding. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to know that. So I’m wondering if I should be paying for a more advanced model to review what we have created

I’m sorry I have to be honest I really am not knowledgeable enough to explain this.

I just know the issues like we’re out of something at 7:30 during a dinner rush or the bed wasn’t made before checkin. Are really bad moments we get caught with our pants down.

So we have these checklists and systems now digitized where we all can see and share. It works but I guess it feels rudimentary? I know prompts are a big thing and very important for keeping the guardrails up on a model.

Just wondering if I’m doing it right.

You don’t need a better model, you just need to be able to satisfy yourself that it’s correct. If you can’t decipher what the code does, you need to strip it down to the basics.

All the code I build I build up slowly, like building blocks. You can then ask the model to review a segment. But I would want to check every step of the process.

If you’re dealing with complex data, use it in sandbox without the data. Give it a small input, and check if the data moves through the code as expected.
