Can you extend that - what was the domain, how did you start? I would like to give this a try but am not quite sure I get it?

Backend coding for web services.

In the past I would hand write 8 or 9 unit tests. Now I write the first one or two and then brain dump anything else into the LLM prompt. It then outputs mine plus 6 or more.

I delete any that seem low value or ridiculous or have a follow up prompt to ask for refinements. Then just copy/pasta back into the codebase out of the chat.

Can confirm this approach works well for us too.
