> LLMs don’t usually fail at syntax?

Really? My experience has been that it’s incredibly easy to get them stuck in a loop on a hallucinated API and burn through credits before I’ve even noticed what it’s done. I have a small rust project that stores stuff on disk that I wanted to add an s3 backend too - Claude code burned through my $20 in a loop in about 30 minutes without any awareness of what it was doing on a very simple syntax issue.

Might depend on used language. From my experience Claude Sonnet indeed never make any syntax mistakes in JS/TS/C#, but these are popular language with lots of training data.
