This is where collaboration comes in play. If you solely rely on the LLM to “vibe code” everything, then you’re right, you get whatever it thinks is best at the time of generation. That could be wrong or outdated.

My workflow is to first provide clear requirements, generally one objective at a time. Sometimes I use an llm to format the requirements for the llm to generate code from. It then writes some code, and I review it. If I notice something is outdated I give it a link to the docs and tell it to update it using X. A few seconds later it’s made the change. I did this just yesterday when building out an integration with an api. Claude wrote the code using a batch endpoint because the steaming endpoint was just released and I don’t think it was aware of it. My role in this collaboration, is to be aware of what’s possible and how I want it to work (e.g.. being aware of the latest features and updates of the frameworks and libraries). Then it’s just about prompting and directing the llm until it works the way I want. When it’s really not working, then I jump in.
