    This is similar to my experience. I have never used agents, but I have worked on projects with people who have. They could create PRs in a few hours that would take me half a week to fix.

    The agent would do things like create a new type definition in the same file as the function that used it. Except we already had a type definition in the types file so that it could be imported into different parts of the code.

    I try to employ “DRY” practices where applicable because it improves the readability, maintainability and extensibility of the code. A random word generator will never be able to understand things like the structure and architecture of the project, nor the project requirements, so it is liable to always increase technical debt.

    Yes that’s a very good point. I played with python’s CSV module recently to make some graphs with numpy and it seems pretty good. I’ll check out visidata - at the moment I’m experimenting with the idea that there is always a better option than using excel style spreadsheets. I’m seeing how much I can achieve while never opening excel/calc/gnumeric

    Very cool thanks for sharing. I don’t have a CSV viewer app in “Open with…” context menu because I don’t have a file manager…

    Last time I had to deal with a large CSV file I think I just used some combination of sort, wc, cut and grep. Or I import it to python and use numpy
