minus-squaremarduk@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down5·5 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-squareembed_me@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up41·5 days agoSounds like a problem for future me. That guy hates me lol
minus-squarekameecoding@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·5 days agoYes, I have never wrote a piece of code that didn’t do what I thought it would before LLMs, no sir.
minus-squareMBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·5 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-up2·4 days agoThe classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day
minus-squarearendjr@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·edit-25 days agoIn fairness, this also happens to me when I write the bash script myself 😂
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·edit-25 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-up1·4 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-squarehenfredemars@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·5 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.
