Definitely a massive net positive, but that 20% is extremely frustrating.

That is fascinating to me, i've never seen it generate that much code that is actually something i would consider correct. It's always wrong in some way.

In my experience, if I have to issue more than 2 corrections, I'm better off restarting and beefing up the prompt or just doing it myself
