I have found that if I ask the LLM to first _describe_ to me what it wants to do without writing any code, then the subsequent code generated has much higher quality. I will ask for a detailed description of the things it wants to do, give it some feedback and after a couple of iterations, tell it to go ahead and implement it.

Seconded. Winsome strategy, plays to the strengths of the LLM without letting it run wild
