>Do you produce good results every time, first try?

Almost always, yes, because I know what I'm doing and I have a brain that can think. I actually think before I do anything, which leads to good results. Don't assume everyone is a junior.

>Didn't think so.

You don't know me at all.

Sr. "human" here.

If you always use your first output then you are not a senior engineer, either your problem space is THAT simple that you can fit all your context in your head at the same time first try, or quite frankly you just bodge things together in non-optimal way.

It always takes some tries at a problem to grasp edge cases and to easier visualize the problem space.

		Depends on how you define "try". If someone asks me to do something I don't come back with a buggy piece of garbage and say "here, I'm done!", the first deliverable will be a valid one, or I'll say I need more to do it.

Here you have it folks, seniors don't make mistakes.

		When I'm confident something will work it almost always works, that is very different from these models. Sure sometimes I do stuff I am not confident about to learn but then I don't say "here I solved the problem for you" without building confidence around the solution first. Every competent senior engineer should be like this, if you aren't then you aren't competent. If you are confident in a solution then it should almost always work, else you are over confident and thus not competent. LLM are confident in solutions that are shit.
