I use it to whip out bash and python scripts quickly. I review them to see what it is doing. If AI disappeared it would just slow me down but not stop me.
Same. It builds ansible playbooks for me pretty reliably. And saved me a fuck ton of time on the contract I’m on now converting our entire chef baseline into ansible.
Easily done, but doing it all by hand would have been a pain. Did it in a couple of days for the first draft, then manually tweaked it for the weird shit Claude hallucinated.
