As always, the answer is "divide & conquer". Works for humans, works for LLMs. Divide the task into as small, easy to verify steps as possible, ideally steps you can automatically verify by running one command. Once done, either do it yourself or offload to LLM, if the design and task splitting is done properly, it shouldn't really matter. Task too difficult? Divide into smaller steps.

Well, ideally we teach the AIs how to divide-and-conquer. I don't care, whether my AI coding assistant is multiple LLMs (or other models) working together.

I ask the LLM to split the task for me. It shines.
