What's up with the "prompt refinement" business? Are folks trying to get it right with one shot?

My experience is that treating the generated code as a Merge Request on which you submit comment for correction (and then again for the next round) works fairly well.

Because the AI is bad you get more rounds than in a real code review, but because the AI is fast and in your command each round is way faster than with a code review with a human (< 10 minutes feedback loop).
