I recently had something no longer compile. I got bored sniffing around after maybe an hour, set Claude in Zed on to it, got a snack, and by the time I was back it had found the problem.

When I am unsure how to implement something, I give an LMM a rough description and then tell it to ask me five questions it needs to get a good solution. More often than not, that uncovers a blind spot.

LLMs remain unhelpful at writing code beyond trivial tasks though.
