Gabriele SveltoI've seen people claiming - with a straight face - that mechanical refactoring is a good use-case for LLM-based tools. Well, sed was developed in 1974 and - according to Wikipedia - first shipped in UNIX version 7 in 1979. On modern machines it can process files at speeds of several GB/s and will not randomly introduce errors while processing them. It doesn't cost billions, a subscription or internet access. It's there on your machine, fully documented. What are we even talking about?
Csepp 🌢@gabrielesvelto Or when sed fails you can often write a quick script in Python (or your language of choice).
For real tho I would love to have a dependable refactoring tool that understands syntax, probably something based on Tree Sitter, but I haven't been able to get any working.
