Using LLM is so tiring. If I wanted to chat all day, I would be an extrovert.

I have a genuine query. Are any software engineers getting sane code out of LLM ?

I struggle to conjure good unity or kotlin code from both paid and self hosted solutions.

I get prototypes for features [0].

For me, the sweet spot is simple but time consuming tasks where the execution is very clear, or the result is very clear but I have to first read a ton of d3.js docs before implementing it. This stuff LLMs do faster than me typing it. Anything more involved where I myself don't know the final result yet, it's faster to figure out the problem while coding instead of trying to figure it out by describing to an LLM.

LLMs can often stitch together information from blogs and stack overflow like sites. You can view it as a better way to search and find answers to your development roadblocks, instead of something that writes code for you. This is where I get value worth paying for, by saving me time of having to navigate multiple search results and piece things together. Many times it is a mix of the two and the LLM, as a starting point, gives me better leads

I use AI autocomplete (copilot-type plugins).

I could never imagine copy-pasting back and forth with an AI in a chat window. At that point I'd just Google the docs and write the code myself.

Which specific plugin and LLM ?
