I had huge success letting Gemini 2.5 oneshot whole codebases in a single text file format and then split it up with a script. It's putting in work for like 5 minutes and spits out a working codebase, I also asked it to show of a little bit and it almost one shotted a java cloud service to generate pdf invoices from API calls, (made some minor mistakes but after feeding them back it fixed them)

I basically use two scripts one to flatten the whole codebase into one text file and one to split it, give it a shot it's amazing...

Anything that can fit in a single LLM output is not a "codebase" it's just a start. Far too many people with no experience in real software projects think their little 1800 line apps are representative of real software development.
