I find it really bad for bootstrapping projects such as picking dependencies from rapidly evolving ecosystems or understanding the more esoteric constraints like sqlite's concurrency model.

I'd argue you need to bootstrap and configure your project then allow only narrow access and problems to the llm to write code for - individual functions where your prompt includes the signature, individual tests, etc. Anything else and you really need to invest time in the code review lest they re-configure some of your code in a drastic way.

LLMs are useful but they do not replace procedure.
