IME the best approach is keeping prompts as narrow and constrained as possible. its better to structure your own methods etc in a DD, and have implementation details fleshed out under supervision, rather than letting the agent create 30 new methods with unwanted/unused/unprompted arguments. once it starts thinking for more than a minute, i'm already a bit worried, and having it suggest or commit more than 100 lines at a time almost always ends up with more than what I asked for. im sure folks are using it for much larger tasks than what im referring to but this is my experience with small projects
