Yeah, I think it's pretty clear to a lot of people that LLMs aren't at the "build me Facebook, but for dogs" stage yet. I've had relatively good success with more targeted tasks, like "Add a modal that does this, take this existing modal as an example for code style". I also break my problem down into smaller chunks, and give them one by one to the LLM. It seems to work much better that way.

I can already copy paste existing code and tweak it to do what I want (if you even consider that "software engineering"). The difference being that my system clipboard is deterministic, rather than infinitely creative at inventing new ways to screw up.

I do wonder how something like v0 would handle that request though.
