So it was three weeks of careful, deep analysis and work and thinking about unsafe and so on.

And then one day of... I was talking to someone on Blue Sky about this.

And I think they described it as a pattern amplification machine.

Right?

And so you give it a pattern.

And it just kind of amplifies that pattern into whatever degree you want, right?

The thing is that before LLMs, I would have probably investigated a code generation library.

I would have tried out macros or whatever.

And all of them have some downsides.

The LLM kind of doing things and tweaking things locally as it went along and like,

you know, things like for a B-tree map, it'll say like ordered.

And for a hash map, it won't say that.

Just like, you know, making sure that the documentation is all aligned and everything.

It was like, that was my first experience.

And it was like a great experience where like, it wasn't a one shot, but it was like...

I want to say like maybe like five or six prompts total.

And it just kind of just nailed it.

And so that was my first experience.

Or the test is testing the wrong thing, right?

Like they're testing the wrong method or testing the wrong structure or whatever.
