My decades-long strategy has paid off. I delayed learning more intense scripting with Python, etc. until LLMs got good enough to solve my problems in seconds. Now I just tell Google Gemini or another LLM what I need and iterate on the results. For example, I just made a Bash script to analyze a directory of Corelight capture loss files. I needed this because each file has 60 entries and I wanted to compare two different configurations in my home lab.
