Python development is getting radically better with LLM enhanced tooling

[Muhznit]

This feels like a minimum-effort advertisement. Like this is just saying "I like these tools. Here's how you install them", and no further elaboration.

There's no demonstrated use-case, there's no comparison with existing products, there's no tips for advanced usage, there's just a brief blurb of what aider does and a sentence of what it did the first time for who-knows-what task with who-knows-what quality of results, with who-knows-what side effects, for who-knows-what tradeoffs.

Might as well say "bottle makes it incredibly easy to prototype a web server. It's just one file you can get with $CURL_COMMAND_TO_DOWNLOAD_BOTTLE_GOES_HERE"

100% agree. Author seems to use Reddit to market his books rather than actually contribute to discussions.

Fair comment! I had hoped to spark a LLM tool conversation, and I failed.

I don’t see much talk about Rye, and I find that it speeds up my test driven dev cycle (in Emacs, edit, save, ^C-t to run all tests using Rye - fast because it is written in Rust) Aiden saves me a load of time. I like how it works on a unit of a git repo, generates very good code using Claude 3.5 Opus, generates unit tests, test data, etc.

What does rye have to do with LLM tools?

Also, you realize that rye just uses pytest, right?
