Free coding model tutorial shows bug-fixing workflow with verification gates

This tutorial demonstrates a method for using free coding models to fix bugs in existing Python projects. The approach involves setting up a minimal project with a failing test, then using a carefully crafted prompt with a service like MonkeyCode to generate a specific code fix. The workflow emphasizes verification at each stage, including running tests, checking code diffs, and ensuring function signatures remain unchanged, before deploying the corrected code as a service.

    Zero to Verified: A Free Coding Model Tutorial

    <p>A developer stares at a red test suite. The failing test is small. The fix is obvious. The clock is not.</p> <p>The ticket says "fix the pricing bug." The codebase is ten years old. The test suite takes four minutes. Nobody wants to touch it. This is the moment a free model ea…
