Someone at my job uses AI tools to reformat his code...

  My coworker said he does that too. Also have coworkers using AI to run git commands. Nothing fancy either- just pull, push, merge etc

    When Claude says "Shall I push it", it's way easier to just respond "yes" than it is to open a new terminal and run git push, and if you're being graded on how much AI tokens you use, saying yes looks even better for your metrics!

    Do you mean they tell an LLM "push this code", or that the LLM runs the commands as part of a larger agentic workflow. The former is crazy but the latter makes sense.

      Former. Pull main and merge into my branch, resolve conflicts, etc (Yes I forgot, they have the agent resolve git conflicts!)

  I actually do this, but that's mostly because our team reviewed all the existing autoformatters for the relatively obscure language we use, and either really hated the formatting or found that they actually introduced errors!
