How does not everyone understand this? It's why waterfall development never worked.

An engineer using an llm is absolutely nothing like an llm itself being the engineer. The most successful example so far of en llm developing on its own is the C compiler that ende…

I fix bugs will git bisect all the time. But it’s not practical if you don’t have a good commit history to begin with.
