I think the sweet spot is to make the initial stuff yourself and then extend or modify somewhat with LLMs

it acts as a guide for the LLM too, so it doesn't have to just come up with everything on its own in terms of style or design choices in terms of consistency I'd say?

For more complex projects I find this pattern very helpful. The last two gens of SOTA models have become rather good at following existing code patterns.

If you have a solid architecture they can be almost prescient in their ability to modify things. However they're a bit like Taylor series expansions. They only accurate out so far from the known basis. Hmm, or control theory where you have stable and unstable regimes.
