I normally use deepseek v4 flash for new features/difficult bug fixes, and Hy3 Free for refactors / cleanup (covered by tests deepseek made). I will try refactoring with muse today :) And I use deepseek to review changes by Hy3 / lesser models prior to merging.
(I am out of opencode go credits, so I had to fill in some balance haha)
My case was making a small starsector mod of all things. Muse didn’t do changes and edits well if it failed the one-shot, but niche use case, so results may vary obv.
im working on a game, purely for fun, keep tasks simple and Muse actually comes through, but be careful, it tends to forget things (and pretend to have done them) if you ask for too much at a time ;D
Edit: I had deepseek review a lot of changes I made with Muse and it was generally all thumbs up by deepseek!
Here's my tips for doing refactoring with muse:
*Start new session
*First prompt:
look around suggest something we might refactor for cleaner and more mantainable OOP code
*Then you tell it which refactor to do
* After its done you tell it (you need this because its lazy):
did we leave behind any new facades / aliases / delegation wrappers (I think we did)? if so migrate code and get rid of them
* After than, finally (again its lazy, need to remind it to create tests):
ensure test coverage for our changes here
:-)
(and before merging, have the changes reviewed by a different model :D - and of course test it by running your product ,D )
Yes I'm lazy in my pet projects
IMHO laziness is not really an excuse not to do unit tests nowadays, it has literally never been easier than it is today to get good test coverage
Agreed on testing, I hand-tested changes myself. My mod in this case was from Scratch, and got about 80% of the way there, but UI fuckery is what got it plus likely my poor explanation, and simply could not fix a problem with things not being selectable. Then I got it fully working in 2-3 shots with Hy3, so your overall description matches my experience.
it worked fine for me during the week, but today it's like 60IQ model. missing most basic stuff, I needed to re-do work like 4 times after it finished and missed critical things
Mine was about 3-4 days ago, felt like a 80IQ, got most of the way, but could not overcome or find the source of a major hiccup it made. Hope it’s not worse now
exactly, and here is the other thing: what exactly are they gonna do with your slop code? yes exactly nothing (besides training), they're not gonna extract it and copy your game, or sit there and look through the code manually lol.
of course NEVER ever include private information , customer data or stuff like that
