I find LLM coding much less useful when it’s interacting with a large existing codebase. It’s certainly good at one-off type code and greenfield projects (especially if similar to other open source stuff). And it’s also good at getting started if you aren’t an expert yourself.

We haven't found this to be an impediment. Keep things modular, and share the type definitions of anything you import with the model. As the benefits here become more and more clear tooling will improve and people will adapt their development practices to get the most out of the models.
