It basically added three small functions and their command line args to a sub-500 line Python script. I’m sure if helped that my function and variable name are verbose, like dictionary_of_fruits_with_dictionary_of_attributes.
My work provided the tool and asked me to try it.

I’ve only tried it the once but it did a great job and caused me the consternation from my previous comment.

I’m not a developer but I do make little tools for myself at work. I used an LLM to assist with adding some features recently, nothing I couldn’t easily do myself. It did a fine job and made minimal changes, all totally readable and for the most part the same way I would have done it.
I have a new tool I want to make, and it’s hard not to just turn to the LLM, since it’ll save me many hours on a script that nobody else will ever see. It’s really taken the fun out of it. I’m proud of what I made, even though nobody else will care, but doing this my usual way will feel like I’m using the wrong tool out of perversity.
I dunno. I hate everything.

You think it’s a not? I read that other post as a person with too much faith in an LLM, but a person.

Ah, I see. I thought that you had forgotten what the tilde does, not that you ran the command without it!

And asbestos really IS a wonder material. It’s tremendously useful for thermal protection and insulation.
Lead was really useful too, but even more toxic.
I have that worry too, but luckily the worst case for me would be one of my simple tools becoming unmaintainable.
