Thank you for giving us a great example of how to appropriately use AI: turning a long comment with no line breaks into a blog post summarizing the comment.

Now I just need to pass your comment into ChatGPT to get a short summary.

Edit: I asked for a one-sentence summary of it and this is what I got:

The comment expresses deep frustration with modern technology, society, government, and politics, calling for radical change and greater individual skepticism.

I haven’t used a LLM to help code in a while (yes I’ve tried), but I found them useful for repetitive configs, like asset files. Also sometimes it makes sense to just have 5 slightly different lines of code in a row instead of a new function.

In general though, reasonable use of DRY is a good idea. There will still be repetitive parts though where a LLM autocompleter lets you just hit tab 5 times.
