Here's a good compromise I have found works well with me coding with LLM code assist and my client who wants a Rust subsystem:
I talk to the LLM about my spec. I bounce it back and forth several times. Just English.
Spec is just words. Tokens are cheap at volume. You can iterate a spec ten times for the cost of one bad code generation attempt that you then spend three days debugging.
The bottleneck is always the clarity of the ask.

@tuban_muzuru@beige.party @shadow53@floss.social why are you offering llm techniques to someone who obviously doesn't want to use an llm?
