I find LLMs are best for creating the template, or filling in gaps of my knowledge. Examples:
1. Using a prompt like "Using Tailwind, create a three column layout with main content in the center column and smaller side columns for ancillary information" will generate HTML + CSS faster than I can type.
2. I use the LLM to generate some CSS styling for setting a background blur, which was something I hadn't done before using Tailwind. It created code faster than I could find things in the documentation, though I had to go and patch it up later. In essence it pointed me in the right direction.
If I'm looking at a preview and want to change the styling of a particular element it is usually faster to directly edit it myself than get an LLM to do that. Tailwind makes this faster as the CSS is right there on HTML; I don't have to switch between stylesheet and HTML.
1. I’ve mostly gone to the grid section of the docs of whatever framework I’m using (bulma these days) and copy paste the example, then copy paste my own code when I have enough pages done.

I mostly use the web inspector for live edits to get a feel then I copy over the final result to the sheet. For more complex components, I use Codepen.
