I don’t know about fixing python types, but fixing typescript types can be very time consuming. A LOT of programming work is like this —- not solving anything interesting or difficult, but just time-consuming drudgery.

These tools have turned out to be great at this stuff. I don’t think I’ve turned over any interesting problems to an LLM and had it go well, but by using them to take care of drudgery, I have a lot more time to think about the interesting problems.

I would suggest that instead of asking people to post their work, try it out on whatever bullshit tasks you’ve been avoiding. And I specifically mean “tasks”. Stuff where the problem has already been solved a thousand times before.
