Since the next step for people like Trump is to blame the consequences of his actions on others, the most effective response to people like this is "It sounds like they lied to you." You can't turn these people into overnight liberals; you *can* shake their trust in the people who deceived them.

commit_script.sh GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

One place where LLMs are useful: generating commit messages, given that:

1. You understand and can evaluate the message
2. The scoped code change is small
3. Your model is fast enough

Still playing around but this script+ prompt works fairly well out of the box:

Meet Grasso the Yard Robot – chrisfenton.com
