Well, if you ask it to write a library at the start, it's likely it will not do that well. Start small, spoon feed some examples.

If you have to put in this much effort, why not just write it yourself?

When you write a library the first step is always designing it. LLMs dont get rid of that step, they get rid of the next step where you implement your design.

They also added an additional step where you have to explain your design using vague natural language.

So I have to do a lot of typing? Because the typing is the bit I don't want to do.

Actually writing code is the fun and easy bit.
