What if you took those scripts that you have used to automate your life, dumped them into something like cursorAI and asked the model to refine them, make them better, improve the output, add interactivity, generalize them, harden them, etc?

Sometimes when I have time to play around I just ask models what stinks in my code or how it could be better with respect to X. It's not always right or productive but it is fun, you should try it!

> add interactivity

just what I want, interactivity in my ansible playbook

yey, introducing bugs for literally no reason!

And get off your lawn?

I’ve been developing professionally since 1996 and started on Dec Vax and Stratus VOS mainframes in Fortran and C, led the build out of an on prem data center with raised floors etc to hold a SAN with a whopping 3TBs of storage along with other networking gear and server software.

Before I started developing professionally, I did assembly language on 65C02, 68K, PPC and x86 for 10 years.

In between then and now, I’ve programmed professionally in C, C++, VB6, Perl, Python, C#, and JavaScript.

Now all of my work is “cloud native” from development to infrastructure and take advantage of LLMs extensively.

It’s not a mark of honor to brag about you don’t use the latest tools.
