I tell my agent to off it self every couple of hours, it's definitely placebo as you're just introducing noise which might or might not be good. Adding hmm, <prompt> has been my goto for a bit if I want it to force to give me different results cause it appears to trigger some latent regions of the llms.
This seems to be exactly what I’m talking about though. We made a completely subjective system and now everyone has completely subjective advice about what works.
I’m not saying introducing noise isn’t a valid option, just doing it in ‘X’ or ‘y’ method as dogma is straight bullshit.
I was thinking about this and I disagree, if you can force "better" paths for programming based on the prompt I think that might as well give you better results.
