I've found that "back and forth" is part of the learning aspect LLM's provide. Even when the LLM provides code snippets, I type them out myself, which I've found forces me to think and understand them - often finding flaws and poor assumptions along the way.

Letting an LLM drive in an agentic flow removes you from the equation. Maybe that's what some want - but I've personally found I end up with something that doesn't feel like I wrote it.

Now... get off my lawn!

It's correct, you didn't write it. Do you also avoid using frameworks and libraries for desire of feeling like you wrote the program you produced? You must have another reason to not want to use this code.
