By the time you're working in increments small enough that it doesn't introduce significant issues, you really might as well write the code yourself.

That's not my experience — I'm significantly faster while guiding an LLM using this methodology.

The gains are especially notable when working in unfamiliar domains. I can glance over code and know "if this compiles and the tests succeed, it will work", even if I didn't have the knowledge to write it myself.
