I've had quite a bit of success but my technique is to explain the technology and libraries I'm going to use, think through the problem, stub out function names, how they'll interact, and then llm saves me the typing.

I'll also use openrouter with sessions so I can take one context and use it around a variety of invocation tools without losing the attention.

It hasn't done anything I don't know how to do - fails if I ask it to do that. But it does save me lots of typing and thinking of minutia

It's not magic, it's still just a program running on a computer - a decent abstraction tool.

I'm sure it will be ruined in time like every new paradigm when the next generation feels a need to complicate this new tidy little world.
