minus-squareperishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoI don’t normally say this, but the AI tools I’ve used to help me write bash were pretty much spot on.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 months agoYeah, an LLM can quickly parrot some basic boilerplate that’s showed up in its training data a hundred times.
minus-squaremarduk@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoYes, with respect to the grey bearded uncles and aunties; as someone who never “learned” bash, in 2025 I’m letting a LLM do the bashing for me.
