When I read the title and the first sentence I immediately thought of partial writes, one of those things that a lot of people seem to ignore until things stop working, often intermittently. I don't work with Node.js, but I've had to fix plenty of network code that had the same bug of not handling partial writes correctly.
I thought gpt-4o and o1-preview would be able to do this pretty easily, but surprisingly not.
Consider yourself blessed, as it is the worst designed code ecosystem I've had stinking up the infrastructure. It is worse than VB in many ways.

In general, most productivity studies quietly hide the fact ML LLM make zero impact on experienced developers performance. However, if the algorithm is well formed arbitrary nonsense, then an LLM can generate plausible sounding slop all day long.
Few decisions I took make me happier than steering clear of the whole thing in my early days of learning code. What ticked me off first was the silent failures but I keep getting confirmation I did the right thing.
i never found an AI system which could solve any relevant programming problem. It is good at reading docs and giving a 0-1 start point, but most of everything else is not well understood by them yet.
