An interesting aspect of LLM coding is how what it returns often contains design decisions that a novice simply wouldn’t see. Doing web component demos with it 9 times out of 10 you get shadow DOM and a fat constructor filled with manipulations. It may work for you right away and then later on you get to enjoy the fruits of your LLM corner cutting.
Seriously now LLMs should not be used for code gen unless you understand what the implications are baked into the code it generates for you.
