Part of it perhaps, but there's also a huge variation in model output. I've been getting some surprisingly bad generations from ChatGPT recently, though I'm not sure if that's ChatGPT getting worse or me getting used to a much higher quality of code from Claude Code which seems to test itself before saying "done". I have no idea if my opinion will flip again now 5.2 is out.

And some people are bad communicators, an important skill for LLMs, though few will recognise it because everyone knows what they themselves meant by whatever words they use.

And some people are bad planners, likewise an important skill for breaking apart big tasks that LLMs can't do into small ones they can do.

This isn't just in coding. My goodness the stuff I see people write into an LLM and then say "see! It's stupid!". Some people are naturally good at prompting and some people just are not. The differences in output are dramatic.
