Even scaffolding a new project is not easy work, especially a new stack or new versions of existing tools. For example, I have never been able to create a Vue 3 project with Vite and Tailwind setup correctly. I tried top SOTA models. Maybe my prompting skills are not good, but everytime it fails to set up a project correctly. Everytime it gives me some old configurations that's not relevant anymore.

LLMs are probably the worst tool for the job. Code generators have been a thing forever. Why use a LLM when you can do "npm create vite@latest my-vue-app -- --template vue" ?

It's always more tedious than that. You have to pick all these libraries, install and set them up, build login pages, etc. Stuff that is all simple work but takes ages. I've never used an LLM for it but it seems like the kind of work that should be easy enough to automate and would save a week of setting everything up if it worked.

Why though? Vite supplies a project scaffolder and lists a one liner under getting started;

ie pnpm create vite

Tailwind is similarly a one liner to initialize(might be a vite create option now).

Edit: My bad, you are talking about the LLMs! I'm always surprised how still for past years, even though we have great projects scalfolding across the node verse, people are still complaining about how hard setting up projects is..
