alt Hacker NewsPlenty of comments about using an LLM to assist with this, and I was happy to be able to read about a learning experience where the stakes were pretty low and the feedback loop pretty tight. Thanks for writing it up; for me, it reminds me that some of the use cases where an LLM might be an efficient tool are also the places where it can be wise to take the opportunity to learn and sharpen new skills.
I totally agree. Don't get me wrong, LLMs helped a lot here, Copilot has been my trusty tool from the day it hit the market, But agents were not really a thing then. In general, my policy is to do it myself until it stops being fun, so as long as stuff doesn't feel like a slog, I'm still pretty productive all on my own.
