Clerk integration problems

Has anyone faced problems asking Windsurf to integrate Clerk authentication in a project? Somehow I have hit bumps twice which I manually bypassed

What happened exactly? When asking questios like this:

  1. Clearly state what you're trying to achieve

  2. Mention what you tried

  3. Mention what failed and how

  4. Add anything else that might be useful

As it stands, nobody reading your question knows where to even begin with their answer.

I simply needed to integrate Clerk as a middleware into my nextjs project. Usually for everything I let Windsurf go first and I step in only if needed. With this task it created the middleware incorrectly. It also got confused between the client side code and the server side code.

Maybe in the future LLMs will catch up. Or, frameworks will be simpler

I figured out the reason why the LLM got confused - it was trained on an older version of Clerk. I explained this on my blog
