I'm using an LLM to write the code for my current project, but I iterate improvements in the code until it looks like code I wrote myself. I sign off on each git commit. I need to maintain and extend this code, it is to scratch my own itch.

LLMs are capable of producing junk, and they are capable of writing decent code. It is up to the operator to use them properly.

The prevailing research suggests this is not quicker than just writing it in the first place.
