> can wrangle into solving tedious, but straightforward, problems correctly. It still makes a ton of mistakes and needs to be very rigidly guided,

I don’t know about the rest of y’all but I find “rigidly guiding” LLM’s incredibly tedious and frustrating in the same way seeing an error code throw for the 40th time while troubleshooting something on my computer for two hours is frustrating. It also feels somewhat like micromanaging a direct report. I don’t find that process fun or enjoyable in the slightest and it teaches me little in the process. It’s just trading styles of work, and I guess the response to that is “some people prefer that of work.” I just don’t like being told by the world we all have to work that way now I guess.

I agree. I find it endlessly frustrating and kind of hate what programming has become. But at least for me it meets the minimum bar of "it works if you push things" now. For past models, under no circumstances could I get them to semi reliably solve these kinds of problems correctly without giving them so many "hints" that they weren't actually saving me time. The kind of reasoning I'm talking about is stuff like "can you actually construct a trace from program start for this condition that looks locally reachable?" Past model simply cannot reliably answer such questions as soon as the control flow involves enough hops or requires tracing through enough function calls.
