Whenever i try to use any of the LLMs to do code i need for work they fail miserably or sometimes it works and i scan over what theyve done to make it work and it looks absolutely like a mad man has written it.

The only use i seem to get out of LLMs with my work is writing mundane brainless stuff like arrays for json responses etc which saves me 5 minutes so i can browse ycombinator and write these comments



What's "LLMs"?

Free ChatGPT?

Codex?

Jules?

Cline?

Cursor?

Claude Code with Opus?

Tight leash with conventions, implementation plan?

YOLO vibe coding?


All of the above really. I try multiple I have claude 4 sonnet subscription chatgpt pro subscription. Ive got a cursor subscription some of them are better than others but most of the time the code they write are so long winded i just do it myself. Its not bad for when i need a bit of php though
