Hard agree on the prompting rabbit hole.

I've done it a handful of times, I'll get a little ambitious... "Oh, 6.1 Sol can totally handle this" and have it spin up a project, keep going, keep going.

Eventually, I get to a point where I start to do the homework and I have to step way back to "fully understand" the work from the ground up... It sucks, but I've largely stopped losing time to that.

For me, "pair programming" and incremental changes beats the "one shot" approach every single time.

We cannot seem to skip the stage of understanding (as much as some people on my team want to!)
