      LLMs are not magical tools which take slop as input, and produce well thought out documentation and tests and code as a result.

      Over the last year, LLM coding agents gotten pretty good. It's no longer "if your results suck, you gotta try the latest and greatest model". You can get capable results on a wide variety of tasks, with a wide variety of models, used in a wide variety of ways.
