I've been working on inputs that are enhanced with WebGL flourishes for 2 days, given explicit implementation details, and it's been days of back and forth of the thing not working. "Oh, sorry, I see my mistake, this is definitely the fix" No, man, you have definitely not fixed anything.

The reason for this is because when working in services, the LLM can mock and test almost everything and assert things function before coming back to you. While they can instrument playwright for frontend code, there's still so much it has zero visibility into.

Assuming API billing prices, these services are more expensive than a junior engineer (or two, or three, or five). You can clear $35k a month if you parallelize many streams. At that price, if someone, with that much confidence, was consistently wrong, I would fire them immediately.
