@troed @Retreival9096 I was told many LLMs tend to write new code instead of seeking for and using existing libraries. That results in a lot of duplicate code and bugs not vanishing by updating central libraries. Was that a problem or is it still?

@gunstick This is the difference between "vibe coding" and using them as development aids. If you just tell them to build the finished product the code that you get might work but be absolutely horribly architectured. If you yourself know how to do proper software development you can steer them to produce good results - precisely because you tell them to refactor duplicated code or use specific libraries etc. Another way of phrasing it is that they're really good at getting to 80% without help but unless you spend some time on the details the final 20% might be quite painful. @Retreival9096
