Scaffolding is another area where LLM's work great.

I want to create a new project using framework XYZ. I already know how to do it, but I don't remember how to set up it since I only do that once, or I don't know how to set up a class that inherits from the framework because I usually just copy the other from another class in the same project. I can simply tell the bot to write the starting code and take it from there.

The sad thing is for a LOT of use cases an LLM is completely unnecessary. Like why do I even need an LLM for something like this? Why can't I just download a database of code examples, plug it into a search engine that apppears in the sidebar, and then just type "new project XYZ" or "new class XYZ.foo" to find the necessary snippet? A lot of NPM frameworks have a set up script to get you started with a new project, but after that you are practically forced to use Google.

It's crazy that a problem that could be solved so easily with a local file search has been ignored for so long and the only solution has been something impossibly inefficient for the problem it's supposed to solve.

As long as the LLM is up to date, or you really know the framework / tech well or you will be in a fair amount of pain with little understanding of how to reconcile what it’s got wrong.
