Sue SmithPeople keep talking about llms killing saas but we were quoted a ludicrous amount for a previously free platform during the week and I'm rustling up an alternative that's completely free aside from a few days of my own labour using the magical automation that is ✨bash scripting✨
lornajane@sue what scares me is that there are people paid to work on software who think that bash scripting is some kind of old magic.
@lornajane honestly I am currently feeling like doing a bash scripting beginner coding exercise lol, it feels like the kind of activity that can give people the thrill of having made computers do stuff that prompting an llm doesn't
Mateusz 🏳️🌈@sue I’ve noticed that Anthropic’s models do excessively use these old-fashioned tools you use for bash scripting (grep, sed, awk…). It’s partially a reason for their success in coding tasks, I guess 🤷🏻♂️
