Your assumption that I couldn't have written this myself or that I didn't make corrections to it is telling. I've only been doing dev for 30+ years lol
LLMs are an accelerant, like all previous tools... Not a replacement, although it seems most people still need to figure that out for themselves while I already have
I see you edited out the part where you made fun of the author using Lua and then called them stupid. It’s a bad look, especially using all that space to paste a script that could be reduced to 5 lines, which is pretty typical of the slop that the author has an issue with in the first place.
Sure, but in this case it's like driving your car 10 feet to your mailbox and then bragging about how it's an accelerant (in other words, the task wasn't remotely difficult to begin with and doesn't really warrant "accelerating"). I assume in this case your note about how it was written with an LLM was more just to spite the anti-LLM sentiment above though, which would make more sense.
That's exactly what it was meant to do. You're right, this is a trivial use case.
