replyThere’s a lot of good tools out there that are not used, either because of ignorance of their existence or lack of expertise. An hour of config can pay real dividend later.
And sometimes you just use some unix utilities and hack a bash script while testing things out.
After 15 years on the field, I still lack a lot of expertise. Many teams do, as you say.
replyLLM can save hours of doc reading for non-critical tools that I would otherwise not use. Its also pretty good at "hacking a bash script" in order to test things out. Not everyone is confortable writing bash scripts.
