> That's why I think it is best to feed LLMs small chunks of work at a time and to keep the humam dev in the driving see to quickly iterate and experiment, and to be able to easily reason with the AI-generated code

REPL development and Live programming is similar to that. But when something works, it stays working. Even with the Edit-Compile-Run cycle, you can be very fast if the cycle is short enough (seconds). I see people going all in with LLMs (and wishing for very powerful machines) while ignoring other tools that could give better return on a 5 year old laptop.
