Fix Massive Codebases FAST Ultimate Debugging Trick with AI (2025)
AI Summary
In this video, the presenter shares an effective strategy for debugging and handling large codebases (45,000+ lines of code). The approach involves creating comprehensive text files that capture all file names, paths, and content in different sections of the program. After saving this data, the presenter suggests utilizing the ChatGPT-03 model to identify errors within the code by inputting the saved text document along with error reports. For added efficiency, they recommend using Gemini, another AI tool, to generate complete code changes needed for fixes. This method is particularly useful for identifying architecture problems and security vulnerabilities. It allows developers to navigate through extensive codebases and resolve issues rapidly, especially when working with subscriptions to advanced AI models. The presenter emphasizes that this strategy remains viable until the code surpasses 100,000 lines.
