Everything is just one more prompt away, I swear — literally like a gambling addict with a slot machine.

You forgot the premise of the article and why the proposed solutions were not good. It was not the complexity of a solution: they were simple fast fixes like a tape on a leak, but the hacky tape they were.

(of course I tried, the code after “refactor” is still shit unless you start going very explicit about it at a point of being better and faster of doing it yourself)

yes, LLMs are not perfect

this is what separates real engineers which solve hard problems, adapt and overcome, versus the ones which complain that whatever they have access to is not perfect and so they will give up on it because "its unusable"
