I wanted a tiny helper tool to display my global keyboard shortcuts for me on macOS. I gave Kiro a short spec and some TypeScript describing the schema of the input data.
It wrote around 5000 LOC including tests and they... worked. It didn't look as nice as I would have liked, but I wasn't able to break it. However, 5000 lines was way too much code for such a simple task, the solution was over-engineered along every possible axis. I was able to (manually) get it down to ~800LOC without losing any important functionality.
