Current LLMs fail if what you're coding is not the most common of tasks. And a simple web app is about as basic as it gets.

I've tried using LLMs for some libraries I'm working on, and they failed miserably. Trying to make an LLM implement a trait with a generic type in Rust is a game of luck with very poor chances.

I'm sure LLMs can massively speed up tasks like front-end JavaScript development, simple Python scripts, or writing SQL queries (which have been written a million times before).

But for anything even mildly complex, LLMs are still not suited.
