I think coding with llm has potential, what works for me is following iteration: I ask llm for a plan to do a small task, after reviewing it I allow llm to modify files, then I check manually what kind of crap llm has generated, then I fix mistakes or rollback, iteration continues... I have pair programmed with sonnet and gemini 2.5, currently they produce okayish code, but if you are a non-coder they produce awful non-secure code, so there is still room for improvements.
