Chat-Driven Development: A Superior Approach to LLM Coding

Shekhar Gulati, after multiple unsuccessful attempts with GitHub Copilot, advocates for 'chat-driven development' using ChatGPT or Claude. He argues this approach offers a cleaner environment for concise requests, better context control, and improved energy management. It also protects the development environment and facilitates iterative error correction through a simple feedback loop, avoiding the clutter of IDE integrations. Gulati prefers using LLMs as thinking tools for design and brainstorming rather than solely as code generators.
