*without doing a bunch of unrelated shit when you looked away and making a big mess for you to either untangle or revert wholesale

🤷🏻♂️ Did you ask it to clean up the mess and make nice PRs?
I have to remind them every third prompt to make a function header comment that documents the input and output. Function to big? It will change the function contents and functionality when you ask it to update the comments.
What tools and models are you using?
Mostly Claude, that has been better for me than any other LLM I used.
Claude Code was the thing I had in mind in particular here. It's super good at making big messes if you let it.
it makes you up your git commit hygiene, which honestly isn't a bad thing
Same with goose / Claude. High level, I make sure that important context makes it into `.goosenotes`, and I treat it as a remote team. Ask for design docs (and point to them in the notes), ask for tests, and if possible design constraints such that they can only be met by doing the right work.
It's definitely not autocomplete
