I still find the models get stuck or go on _massive_ side quests. Just today, I asked claude to write a hello world C++ program using import std; I interrupted it when It decided I needed a new toolchain installed, and started checking for docker installations. This is super basic stuff, it hadn't even generated a plan, it just started searching for LLVM versions rather than running clang --version.

Honestly, it feels like the emperor has no clothes on this topic, and the crowd defending LLMs to death are way too quick to call it a skill issue.

I use LLMs, but they're just a tool in the workflow, and I make sure to review the output. they might remember semicolons but they make much more pernicious mistakes that are harder to detect
