Two ideas for using LLMs in software development Other than coding assistants and code completions, Software developers spend substantial amount of time making technical decisions related to naming and organizing codes.

Hey friends, today I am releasing my LLM-related Python scripts for working with youtube, podcasts, and articles. These CLI-based scripts have boosted my consumption and production process so much.
