Show a model your old code and it writes your old bugs: 32 runs, 0% reuse
Community description: Same task, same models, two commits of my own repo. From the pre-migration commit every run hand-rolled a 190-line typeahead with the exact defects the migration removed; from the post-migration commit every run reused the shared component in 41 lines.

Automated excerpt
Does the code that already exists decide what the model writes next? Reaching for the shared search only means the model wrote the component's name into its JSX. My first pass reported that every call in every condition invented props that do not exist, including the condition where the model could read the component's source.
