Every 'modern' project takes bucket loads of (annoying) setup and plumbing. Even in rather trivial 'start' cases, the LLM has to spend quite a bit of time to get a hello world thingy working (almost all of that is because 'modern programmers' have some kind of brain damage concerning backward compatibility; move fast and break things between MINOR versions that have no use or reason for those changes whatsoever but 'they liked it better', so stuff never works as it says on the product page; heaven help you if you need something exotic to be added). It's a terrible timeline for programming, but LLMs do fix at least that annoyance by just changing configs/slabs of code it until it works.
