Sounds like you’re working in react. The models are orders of magnitude worse at less common frameworks and/or languages. React is so boilerplate-heavy that it’s almost a perfect match for LLMs. That said, every large react codebase I’ve worked in inevitably became really complex and had a ton of little quirks and tweaks to deal with unexpected re-renders and such. I avoid the FE when I can these days, but I’d be fairly surprised if LLMs generated anything other than typical performance-footgun-heavy react
Not in my experience, claude seems great at writing idiomatic and performant react. You can even highlight code and ask it to spot performance issues and it will tell you where you can improve rendering efficiency etc.
That's interesting. I haven't tried it, and my day job moved on from React some time ago. Most of what I do these days is Rust, which all the models I've tried are pretty miserable at.
