Just ask it to rewrite the shitty code you wrote in a language you barely understand to “follow standard best practices in <language>” or something like that and it will add advanced typing features, functional programming for iterables, advanced exception handling, proper concurrency handling, optimize control flows, use better equivalent functions, etc.

As long as you understand the foundations of these concepts in at least one language anybody can become pretty close to an expert in most languages instantly. Especially since most of them are C based and pretty similar

The output will sometimes change the logic but I mean that’s pretty easy to catch and fix

Rip C++ nerds that memorize the entirety of each releases manual to shave off 3ms in every single function

    Llms are the affordable table saw, no, the affordable router table of the software world.

    They’re a powerful tool, but they increase the chance that the user will fiddlefuck around doing something stupid at best or something brutally, nastily, scared straight in the classroom dangerous at worst.

    If there ever was a time to “jack off” and get rid of any computer interaction in your life, now is it.
