I've been on the hunt for an AI tool to help me develop a Discord bot using Node.js. I've already tried several options like ChatGPT, Grok, and Cursor, but they tend to mess up my code even though it's under 2,000 lines. I've been close to finishing it multiple times, but when I finally run the bot, the commands just don't work. I've got a budget of $40 to spend, but I'm unsure which tool might actually be helpful since the upgraded version of ChatGPT hasn't really worked for me either.

It's all about how you interact with the AI. If you don’t know the basics of programming, it’ll be tough to get good results. Try using XYZ LLM for your project and work together to create a detailed ‘super prompt’ that outlines your tech stack, like Node and Discord.js. And remember, your code might be too chunky for the model all at once; breaking it down into smaller files could help a lot.
Honestly, it might be a good idea to learn how to code yourself instead of relying on AI. Understanding the code it generates is crucial; otherwise, you’ll face issues down the road. With just $40, you might not find the right solution anyway.
Have you heard of `git`? It’s an essential tool for version control, which can really help you manage your code effectively.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely give that a try!
