> I often handwrite the code myself, but I’ve found that LLM coding assistants’ limitless patience ameliorates the drudgiest work of coding.

I've been using a few different "smart" LLM to work on an analysis, parsing, search and correlation tool that ultimately deals with a 5.5GB on disk (with indexes) mariadb database that has its origin as a federal government department's 905,000 row plain text CSV file.

There are a ridiculous number of data entry errors and just plain weird fuckups in the data origin that don't seem they will be ameliorated any time soon, so automating the drudge work of cleaning it up and rectifying it into something usable is a textbook case for this. Very pleased with the results so far.
