Yeah, there's a definite continuum for where LLMs are most to least expert. They seem to be fairly OK with JS, less so with Python, and C is just a crapshoot.

It depends on the project as well, for throwaway things I'm fine to just let it do whatever it wants, but for projects that I need to last more than a few days, I review everything.

A friend of mine has been doing embedded C stuff (making some kind of LCD wall) and has been blown away by how well it's been doing with C --- he went in an LLM skeptic (I've been trying to sell him for months, it finally clicked).

Huh, interesting. I wanted to turn an old rotary phone into a meeting headset, and I tried to get Opus to make me a sound card, but $35 in API costs later, I had no sound card.
