The author is complaining about inconvenience. If I'm in the shell, and I want to see how much disk space I have, asking a LLM for a command then running the command then asking the LLM to parse it is still inconvenient, compared to just typing "df -h" and getting a reasonable output.
The fact that Claude or whoever can parse that output seems irrelevant to the article as I understand it. "AI" is not a magic silver bullet.
- larodi 2y agoIs not indeed. The author has valid clues and points made. 100% agree with him. Nevertheless you still need to do some job and people find ways around. All I’m saying is long prompts of shell progs that you need to use once or twice are easier written in the newskool way, not that proper output of common programs is bad idea. But I really can’t imagine anyone or anything convincing thousands of devs to conform certain format. Really a wet dream today unless started so from day one. Only big players can do that.
