Developers are often using Large Language Models (LLMs) incorrectly by treating them as deterministic search engines or junior developers. Instead, LLMs function as spatial compressors of text, and vague prompts lead to average or erroneous code. To achieve production-grade output, users should frame interactions as API design problems, providing explicit architectural constraints, types, and failure modes as parameters. This approach, akin to systems programming, involves building specific wrappers that inject internal documentation and rules into the LLM's context, thereby constraining its output space and reducing hallucinations.
