You can ask the llm to write code the way you think about it. I usually write a little spec document as my first prompt, and in there i'll add some rules on how I want code structured, seperated etc.
If you use cursor, cursorrules can be a good way of doing this.
This still doesn't work for me. I have to actively think about the problem, find a solution, and write the code myself. Outsourcing these efforts makes my learning ineffective.
I will keep using LLMs for 1 week greenfield hobby projects that I don't plan to revisit. But no matter how good LLMs get, I will never use them in my dailyjob, otherwise, I risk losing touch with the codebase.
