Apologies if I was unclear.

The more I've used it, the more I've disliked how poor the results it's produced, and the more I've realised I would have been better served by doing it myself and following a methodical path for things that I didn't have experience with.

It's easier to step through a problem as I'm learning and making small changes than an LLM going "It's done, and production ready!" where it just straight up doesn't work for 101 different tiny reasons.

My preferred approach to avoid that outcome is to divide & conquer the problem. Ask the LLM to implement each small bit in the order you'd implement it yourself given what you know about the codebase.
