Groundbreakingness is different from the type of novelty that's relevant to an LLM. The script I was trying to write yesterday wasn't groundbreaking at all: it just needed to pull some code from a remote repository, edit a specific file to add a hash, then run a command. But it had to do that _within our custom build system_, and there's few examples of that, so our coding assistant couldn't figure out how to do it.

The simplest version of that is some CGI code a PHP script. Which everyone should be writing according to your description. But why so many books have been written to be able to do this seemingly simple task? So many frameworks, so many patterns, so many methodologies....

I don't know man

It can't do anything in these random Phaser games I'm making and even translating my 10,000 line XNA game to Phaser. It is totally hopeless.

Phaser has been out forever now, and XNA used to be too.
