I paste in all the code that it needs context for, tell it how I'd like to refactor it (e.g. there are two concerns, split them into their own structures). It then gives me a high level of what it'd do, I review and then tell it to implement what it said.
I tried this yesterday in golang with some gRPC calls and while it seemed to hallucinate a couple details, overall it did a pretty good job. I think part of getting it right will be to guide it a little more.
I'm building my own product so don't have to worry about getting company approval etc for this.
Also, language learning - I'm learning German atm and plan on asking it to list the x most common nouns in each gender (der die das) and then generate example sentences that use each of the nouns and so on.
