It really depends, and can be variable, and this can be frustrating.

Yes, I’ve produced thousands of lines of good code with an LLM.

And also yes, yesterday I wasted over an hour trying to define a single docker service block for my docker-compose setup. Constant hallucination, eventually had to cross check everything and discover it had no idea what it was doing.

I’ve been doing this long enough to be a decent prompt engineer. Continuous vigilance is required, which can sometimes be tiring.
