I have the personal rules regarding LLM coding:
- Try to prove the concept early on. When you start spinning in circles, then it might be time for a different approach
- I’ve had a lot of success with projects that have not started out as LLM codebases. And adding features one by one and testing really carefully by hand
- UI generated by LLMs are overly verbose. The key lies in the iteration. What you can cut, move or approach differently. But you have to have taste.
