<p>Okay so the module import thing is interesting and feels like 1) it should have been included on day one and 2) might have made Swift more viable for projects like Ladybug</p>

<p>I’m building a custom vocalist/DSP AI. I’ve never built any kind of neural net beyond a toy demo, but I’ve been programming for ~25 odd years.<p>Think like ACE Studio, but I’m going much less for pitch performance and much more for clarity, expressiveness and human realism.<p>Very much at the data labeling phase but a little bit beyond the crude initial experiment phase.</p>

<p>I am very new to Next.js. I came across it first two years ago in a Vercel setup and it was it was a mess. I now attribute that to the code base rather than either Vercel or Next.js itself.<p>Fast forward to ~9 months ago. I joined a company that self hosts Next.js in GCP (Cloud Run). The set up is so effortless I’ve actually started building a new side project completely with it. I come from C#/Swift ecosystems.<p>This is to say, my anecdotal experience has been extremely good. Next.js is an amazing framework and has been the catalyst for me retooling my whole career into the TypeScript/JavaScript world after resisting for many years.</p>

<p>I’ve coded in many languages over the years but reasonably new to the TS/JS/Next world.<p>I’ve found if you give your prompts a kind long form “stream of consciousness”, where you outline snippets of code in markdown along with contextual notes and then summarise/outline at the end what you actually wish to achieve, you can get great results.<p>Think a long form, single page “documentation” type prompts that alternate between written copy/contextual intent/description and code blocks. Annotating code blocks with file names above the blocks I’m sure helps too. Don’t waste your context window on redundant/irrelevant information or code, stating a code sample is abridged or adding commented ellipses seems to do the job.</p>
