Welcome to the Lemmygrad programming community! This is a space where programmers of all levels can discuss programming, ask for help with problems, and share their personal programming projects with others.
Rules
- Respect all users, regardless of their level of knowledge in programming. We're here to learn and help each other improve.
- Keep posts relevant to programming and related topics.
- Respect people's personal preferences. If you disagree with someone's choice of programming language, method of formatting code, or anything else, don't attack the poster. Genuine criticism is fine, but personal attacks are not.
- In order to promote breaks from typing, all code snippets must be photos of code written on paper.
Just kidding :), please use proper markdown code blocks.

Efficiency problems aside (hopefully R1 keeps us focused on increasing efficiency while still being useful), I find it super useful when you set a pattern and let it fill it out for you.
On a side project, I built out 10 or 15 structs and then implemented one of them in a particular pattern and I just asked it to finish off the rest. I did like 10% of the work, but because I set the pattern, it finished everything else flawlessly.
Oh yeah, I noticed that too. Once you give it a few examples, it's good at iterating on that. And this is precisely the kind of drudgery I want to automate. There is a lot of code you end up having to write that's just glue that holds things together, and it's basically just a repetitive task that LLMs can automate.
