minus-squareperishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down2·6 days agoI don’t normally say this, but the AI tools I’ve used to help me write bash were pretty much spot on.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-26 days agoYeah, an LLM can quickly parrot some basic boilerplate that’s showed up in its training data a hundred times.
minus-squareewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoIf When the script gets too complicated, AI could also convert it to Python. I tried it once at least, and it did a pretty good job, although I had to tell it to use some dedicated libraries instead of calling programs with subprocess.
minus-squaremarduk@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down3·6 days agoYes, with respect to the grey bearded uncles and aunties; as someone who never “learned” bash, in 2025 I’m letting a LLM do the bashing for me.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·6 days agoUntil the magic incantations you don’t bother to understand don’t actually do what you think they’re doing.
minus-squareembed_me@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·6 days agoSounds like a problem for future me. That guy hates me lol
minus-squarearendjr@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·edit-26 days agoIn fairness, this also happens to me when I write the bash script myself 😂
minus-squareMBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 days agoI wonder if there’s a chance of getting rm -rf /* or zip bombs. Those are definitely in the training data at least.
minus-squarefurikuri@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoThe classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day
minus-squarekameecoding@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·6 days agoYes, I have never wrote a piece of code that didn’t do what I thought it would before LLMs, no sir.
