The meta here is to use LLMs to make things simpler and easier, not to make things harder.

Turning tokens into a well-groomed and maintainable codebase is what you want to do, not "one shot prompt every new problem I come across".

Have you managed to do this? I find it takes as long to keep it "on the rails" as just doing it myself. And I'd rather spend my time concentrating in the zone than keeping an eye on a wayward child.

I suspect the productivity hack is to embrace permissive parenting. As far as I can tell, to leverage LLMs most effectively you need to run an agent in YOLO mode in a sandbox. Naturally, you probably won't end up reviewing much of the produced code, but hey—you reached 10x development speed.

If you truly do your due diligence and ensure that the code works as intended and understand it, we're talking about a totally different ballpark of productivity increase/decrease.
