> Without guidance, LLMs tend to paint themselves into a corner, because they’re generating code to solve individual prompts, not thinking holistically about an application’s architecture.

Yes this is what I have been experiencing as well. I kind of live in a bubble around my own technical expertise, but it seemed only natural that you would have to guide the model. I'm new to AI as of February. Someone suggested I use it to upgrade my Hugo site and that was all I needed. No I am converting a CRM to obsidian and Rewriting some Obsidian plug-ins to do what I want them to do.

For example, I am using an Obsidian plug-in to do presentations from my markdown files "Advanced Obsidian Slides" but it styles the slides using absolute styling. Every time I tried to the prompt model to improve display elements in that styling I spent a lot of time asking it to go back and try something else to get the results I wanted.

Finally I decided to rewrite the plugin with a fluid design with in the fixed boundary of the slides. Instead of using floats I switched to Flexboxes and all my problems were solved in one-shot situations.

The moral of the story is don't expect the model to do what you want it to do without the proper framework. And research correct terms, you will save yourself a lot of time prompting/writing instruction docs that the LLM will end up implementing.
