I had both good and bad experience.

Bad with regex or things involving recursion.

Also bad at integration between modules. I have not tried to solve this yet, by giving documentation of both the modules.

Also model used impacted. To understand java code it was great.

I first ask it to generate the detailed prompt by giving a high level prompt. Then use the detailed prompt to execute the task.

Java code size Upto 20k loc is fine. Other wise context becomes big. So you have to do module by module.

I believe to have a discussion maybe someone has to take an open source code example and then say it doesn't work. Other people can then discuss and decide.

Overall happy with gpt5 and claude code.

Edit:updated bad at integration

You should first draft the interface and roll out coverage with automated tests, and then prompt your way into filling in the implementation. If you just post a vague prompt on how you want multiple modules workinh together, odds are the output might not met implicit constraints.
