If you gave some junior dev a large codebase and just told to "refactor it" you would get a terrible result.

If you gave junior dev exact tasks what to do where you will get better results.

Just like with LLM.

That’s why junior devs generally aren’t give the responsibility of architecting a large scale refactor. Yet people seem to be trying to had these types of tasks over to LLMs.
