It’s a good thing to keep in mind, but LLM + scaffolding is clearly superior. So if you just use vanilla LLMs you will always be behind.

I think the important thing is to avoid over-optimizing. Your scaffold, not avoid building one altogether.

It's wild to me that a paragraph or 7 of plain English that amounts to "be good at things" is enough to make a material difference in the LLM's performance.
