I still think the best way to build software using LLMs is to copy-paste snippets/files into the chat and manually guide the work. Humans are still the best orchestrators. Yes the human has to now be hyper-focused and juggle various workflows, but the end result (quality of work and throughput of usable code) becomes very good.

Been my experience as well. Human corrected code is orders better than ai generated slop. Slop might get you the promotion at your day job who is still in fomo tokenmaxx mode, but highly recommend the careful review for your personal projects

I find it hilarious people think they can build on slop or on captured output from quality engineers. Intent is the most important aspect, and no code base could ever capture that
