  • Come on, I just googled printf bash and the first link gave me very comprehensive page on how it works and what parameters are and how to use them. It was 3 pages on my phone.
    Please, don’t get what I am about to say the wrong way, but if this was too complicated to you, this is your problem, not anything else. This is how people learn, there is no cheat code to it, you need to learn how to find the information and how to absorb it, and no robot will ever do it for you.
    Bash is confusing mess, sure, but using random words genrtator to chew it for you will make things worse for you. It’s very possible that you’re on 2 lines per hour precisely because you’re using LLM.




  • I maintain strong conviction that if a good programmer uses llm in their work, they just add more work for themselves, and if less than good one does it, they add new exciting and difficult to find bugs, while maintaining false confidence in their code and themselves.
    I have seen so much code that looks good on first, second, and third glance, but actually is full of shit, and I was able to find that shit by doing external validation like talking to the dev or brainstorming the ways to test it, the things you categorically cannot do with unreliable random words generator.
