Tell me you don't know how to use LLMs properly without telling me.

You don't give the whole codebase to an LLM and expect it to have one shot output. Instead, you break it down and and write the code block by block. Then the size if the codebase doesn't matter. You use the LLM as a tool, it is not supposed to replace you. You don't try to become George from Jetsons who is just pressing a button and doesn't touch anything, instead you are on top of it as the LLM does the coding. You test the code on every step to see if the implementation behaves as expected. Do enough of this and you have proper, full "bespoke" software.
