   I'm confused why the copy you generated repeatedly boasts "no nginx, no Redis" as if those things don't exist independently of application servers for a reason, and as if building something that doesn't need these things (when deployed as a single instance) is particularly notable.

   "no Docker" - so what? Docker is a tool. Running containers on Linux has extremely low overhead. No idea what this is about.

   You didn't spend the effort to decorate the slop with your rationale for these choices, so I see no evidence that you built any of this.

      One of the biggest shortcomings I often see with LLM-produced content, following a planning conversation, is that they misunderstand the breadth of the domain for which a detail is relevant or interesting.

      So if it fixes a bug where function was accidentally deleting a file, it will update the function's documentation with "does not delete any important files", as if that's a key feature and not just one of a million things it should not do.

      The same pattern repeats when an LLM is left to generate its own copy after a brainstorming and architecting session. It has no concept of what's important to the end-user.

         The only LLM that does this wel (in my opinion) is gemini. if i ask claude to fix comments, it very clearly fails in doing so. Gemini actually seems to understand the scope of a task

            In the specific context though, it is relevant. So the aside is more closely related to the behavior being outlined.

            Really wish I could use Gemini without linking it to my personal Google account.
