This is not how I use LLMs for coding. I request small snippets or edits, and most of my time is spent conversing and evaluating solution paths. Once I do request and accept code, it is heavily typed and evaluated by the IDE, it is checked against tests and the overall architecture and data flow is still coming from me, I merely off-shore the minute implementation details. And here lies the crux: there are so many different ways of using these tools, some will make the plane crash, some won't and it's all kind of in flux. That said, even the staunchest critic should see that there is _something_ useful there.
