Well that day doesn't appear to be coming any time soon. Even after years of supposed improvements, LLMs make mistakes so frequently that you can't trust anything they put out, which completely negates any time savings from not writing the code.

Sorry, but this is user error.

1) Most people still don't use TDD, which absolutely solves much of this.

2) Most poople end up leaning too heavily on the LLM, which, well, blows up in their face.

3) Most people don't follow best practices or designs, which the LLM absolutely does NOT know about NOR does it default to.

4) Most people ask it to do too much and then get disappointed when it screws up.

Perfect example:

> you can't trust anything they put out

Yeah, that screams "missing TDD that you vetted" to me. I have yet to see it not try to pass a test correctly that I've vetted (at least in the past 2 months) Learn how to be a good dev first.
