There is a trend to write tools on the spot. Should be easy, right?

So during a big Go refactoring I asked Claude to write a python script to do some renames. I hoped it would be faster, more reliable and save some tokens.

Well that was a rabbit hole. I quickly reverted and let CC do it the old way. Hype vs reality.

Still on my list to experiment with CC and Go’s AST tools to tryout refactorings.
