> Procfs parsing trivialities are the kind of thing LLMs are good at

Have you tried it? Procfs trivialities is exactly the kind of thing where an LLM will hallucinate something plausible-looking.

Fixing LLM hallucinations takes more work and time than just reading manpages and writing code yourself.

Claude code can read manpages too

  • If I'd ever feel the urge to misengineer a rube goldberg contraption to manage my vibe coder LLM output I'll get back to you.

    But at the moment I feel like all that sounds suspiciously like actual work.

  • It cant "read" anything. It can include the man page in the prompt, but it can never "read" it.

    • If the output is working code I don't really care whether it's reading, "reading", or """reading"""
