> context-heavy tasks like lints, refactors, file batch ops, and grep-and-replace can burn through your monthly limit in days.
Grep-and-replace? You mean, sed? People burn tokens instead of using sed? Honest question.

AI beginners use Opus as a replacement for grep/sed.
Mediocre programmers use AI to write sed one-liners for them and then brag about AI productivity boosts.
And experts just use sed directly and then they wonder why everyone else is raving about AI.

Having written more sed invocations by hand than I care to remember, please bin me in the mediocre camp.
Aside: The speed at which AI can spit out complex diagnostics is nuts. Par is usually half a second for a dozen complex shell commands tailored to the exact problem at hand.

So it looks like the person who set up this GitHub repository didn’t even make the software that does all the actual work. They also never mention the original author in the README. But, of course, their AI prompt includes instructions to open their homepage, so this is effectively using the AI prompt for indirect advertisement. The HN submission title is also misleading. I didn’t see any maths in the repo.
EDIT: the underlying tool was discussed here on HN 9 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44705958
