i dont know about anyone else. but since ChatGPT, my shell game is probably the one that is most levelled up.
A lot of things i would either do manually because i had forgotten shell programming, or i would have done in a seperate pyenv with 2-3 packages i can get done in about 4 minutes.
- darkteflon 3y agoSame. Shell and glue-scripts in Python. The activation energy required is now close to zero.
- teddyh 3y agoI hope I never have to be the one to read those scripts.
- darkteflon 3y agoThere’s a world of difference between having GPT4 write your scripts, and writing scripts with GPT4.
- dmd 3y agoWhy? They're generally much clearer and well-commented than what a rushed harried sysadmin would write.
- teddyh 3y agoBut the lines and code snippets presumably won’t match the style of the rest of the program (or each other), so I guess that you’ll get programs which does things wildly differently from line to line.
- dmd 3y agoSounds like you've never actually used it for writing code, and are basing this on how you think it works. As someone who uses it for hours a day every day for writing code ... no, it does not have that problem.
- hddqsb 3y agoBeware, I would not trust ChatGPT to produce safe scripts. At minimum, consider using ShellCheck on the result to detect common mistakes such as not quoting variables. Writing safe scripts is very hard.
