A small change around 50 lines is the size of an advent of code solution (the hardest part). Most of the code you write around that is for defensive coding (error handling, malformed input, expected output,…) which is the other hard part. Then you connect these cores to form a system and that’s another tough problem. And it needs to evolve to.

We’ve built tools to help us with the first part, framework with the second, architecture principles with the third and software engineering techniques for the fourth. Where do LLMs help?
