Maybe I’m just writing code differently than many people, but I don’t spend much time executing complicated or unique shell commands. I write some code, I run make check (alias “mkc”), I run git add —update (alias “gau”), I review my commit with git diff —cached (“gdc”), and I commit (“gcm”).

I can see how an LLM is useful when needing to research which tool arguments to use for a particular situation, but particular situations are infrequent. And based on how frequently wrong coding assistants are with their suggestions, I am leery of letting them run commands against my filesystem.

What am I missing?
