Lisdexamfetamine+caffeine, let's gooooooo
Hands shaking but mind is going brrrr
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java the thoughts acquire speed, The hands acquire shaking, The shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
Everything brrr if you coffee enough
can't eat, coding.....
I could either take several tedious hours to write out several thousand regex patterns by hand to automatically recognize differing formats of notation for this thing I'm doing IRL......
or I could have an LLM do it in a few seconds, and it'll get 99.99% of the cases, missing maybe one case every hundred thousand...

LLMs are a tool. I use it as such.

Even if the LLM does things perfectly 100% of the time, how do you expect to maintain your skills if you offload all of your work onto a chatbot? What happens when you start offloading more and more until you're not actually doing anything except typing in prompts?
