Who said anything about better code or quality? It's about time per output. Claude writes the same 20 lines of code I would write significantly faster. You've not used these tools at all, is obvious. You're so dogmatic about your opinion that you don't even understand or have used the tech.   What's _really_ funny is that I am old enough and have been in the industry long enough that I remember people like you who used the same arguments against using VM's over a physical server for everything. And then they said the same thing about containers rather than fully fletched VM's.

Hahaha, you know what's _very_ funny?

I know very well with how LLM works. I am working for the team keeping our internal LLM's going in Cloudflare, cheers. Signed off and written by are not the same thing. No one has said you don't need to validate output. But an LLM can type faster than I ever can, and according to monkeytype I have a 130 WPM. >PS, I don't need to be one of the world's best programmers to comment my opinion on a reddit post. No, but you should be knowledgeable to engage in a particular topic - which you aren't.   Like I've said - You either use modern tools, or you get left behind. It's your paycheck, you do you.

Ok. Write me a sed that does this: if --extract-messae-id is passed as a parameter then using lxml, open the file and parse the XML path <Header/messageId> and set that as the routingkey in the message pushed to rbmq. If the tag can't be found throw an MissingMessageId exception, or if the parameter isn't set - fall back to existing routing key logic. &nbsp; That's the last thing I did before I went home today.

Wrong about what? LLM have made me more productive than ever. Whipping up YAML and simple code changes that would take me hour(s), sometimes purely because it's so fucking boring that I'd jump at any other task, and that would cause context switching. I don't need to write a configMap helm template or podAffinity rules from scratch, I can do that in my sleep but it soul crushing. &nbsp; You'll pry away LLM generated busy-work from my cold dead hands. &nbsp; This is nothing different to when IDE's first came up with intellisense.

We use GroundCover but that doesn't cover those use cases I mentioned.

How do you monitor more application specific things? We've got a lot of "If there's any file older than 5 minutes in this smb share, something has stopped" or we monitor our invociing softwares error catalog since it was no built in notification for when an invoice fails to parse. So if the file count of folder "error" is above 0 > Alert And so on so fourth. I was forced to buy PRTG's 3 year subscription due to them changing terms in the worst possible timing for our business with ERP changes and buying two of our competitors in 3 months so we had our hands full, but I'll be telling them to fuck right off the next time and need to plan a migration. &nbsp; We have a ton of monitoring and alerts in grafana using prometheus metrics in our own built apps and other that support it, but there are some legacy apps I just won't get rid off and some of them have zero fucking alerting
