A useful trick is to periodically ask the LLM to refactor your modules for human readability and easy extensibility by LLMs. Usually this process is divergent for Python/React spaghetti code, but for Elixir and Claude I usually find that I understand the code better and the next pass Claude takes on the module generates better results. With the AI code assistant editors it’s easy to generate new code endlessly but it’s important when using these tools to pare back on occasion.
