I prefer to ask LLMs to help me to create highly cohesive functions, and absolutely abhor using agents with their overly verbose code, their tendency to do shotgun surgery and the inevitable regressions. So I kind of do a top-down design and use the LLM to help me with toil or with unfamiliar things that would require me finding the right documentation, code examples, bug reports, etc, etc... LLMs with web search are great for this kind of toil elimination. LLMs are useful tools, but they have no notion of hierarchy, of causal relationships, or any other relationship, actually. Any time they seem to have those capabilities in the code they generate, it is merely a coincidence, a very probably coincidence, but still, it is not intentional.
