I found function by function was ideal use of an LLM for my limited programming and skills. If your functions are too big and complicated to get useful output from an LLM in a couple prompts you probably need to split up that function.
You need to plot the functions and how they fit together yourself. You need to test.
As far as I can tell LLMs replace junior developers just fine if you know how to prompt. You now need to be a senior dev pair programmer, tester, product manager, and project manager.
Some developers lack the skills needed for that shift. Some lack the ability to break the frame of their existing workflow and break the frame of the PR that it will just do it for you to see the middle way. Those types are struggling.
I'm not a dev. I used that function by function approach and turned out a couple thousand lines of code in a week. It has run 247365 for a few months now without fault.
