www.xda-developers.com/linus-used-ai-bug-llm-critics-face-choice/LLMs suck at writing code, but they are absolutely amazing at reading code and finding bugs. I am firmly against the usage of LLMs to write anything, but they have a place as a diagnostics tool when verified by a human.

Opus-class and higher models are actually great at writing code, but maybe it’s language dependent? I primarily work in TypeScript.

Opus in my experience sucks for writing code.
What are you trying to have it do? I work in a very large and complex codebase, and it honestly scares me sometimes.

Refactoring and consolidating a big preexisting codebase. I try to introduce new concepts on a semantic level and it tries to give me interfaces and abstractions that would obstruct my work in the long run.
