minus-square@perishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish46•12 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-square@marduk@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilink20•12 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-square@SpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink39•12 days agoUntil the magic incantations you don’t bother to understand don’t actually do what you think they’re doing.
minus-square@embed_me@programming.devlinkfedilink41•12 days agoSounds like a problem for future me. That guy hates me lol
minus-square@MBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilink14•12 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-square@furikuri@programming.devlinkfedilink2•11 days agoThe classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day
minus-square@arendjr@programming.devlinkfedilink10•edit-212 days agoIn fairness, this also happens to me when I write the bash script myself 😂
minus-square@kameecoding@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•12 days agoYes, I have never wrote a piece of code that didn’t do what I thought it would before LLMs, no sir.
minus-square@SpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink17•edit-212 days agoYeah, an LLM can quickly parrot some basic boilerplate that’s showed up in its training data a hundred times.
minus-square@henfredemars@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish6•12 days agoFor building a quick template that I can tweak to my needs, it works really well. I just don’t find it to be an intuitive scripting language.
minus-square@ewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilink1•11 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.
