This is precisely why these types of articles don't make any sense to me, and strike me as case studies on human laziness. If you want good output, you'll review the output and iterate. If you want good foundations, you'll write them, and then later those foundations will prevent, to a very great degree, bad code from getting written by the LLM.

These articles frustrate me greatly. That said, the author's point about token cost is real, and a risk.
