And directional radio towers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Communications_(1984%E2%80%932010)#AT=&T_Long_Lines= ) and satellites. Both of which are wireless.

So yeh, wires have been used in establishing the internet. But wires are not a requirement for internet.

It's like rain can make things wet. But something being wet does not require rain.

Internet is internetwork (ie inter-network), meaning a network of networks.
Wires are not part of the definition

Yeh, fair question.
Recently I built a Non Linear Editor for Vimeo VODs.
The server downloads the VOD, extracts key frames using FFMPEG, allows the user to create a bunch of sections and where they get uploaded to, then FFMPEG does a stream copy to extract those sections, and then upload them.

I knew all of that was possible. I had never done HTML5 video players, I had never spawned FFMPEG from typescript, there was a lot of html/CSS that I didn't have experience with.
Previously, I would have passed on this work.

But after defining a plugin system for source/destination (so it can be used with YouTube or whatever), and splitting each stage into workers, the code itself is fairly easy to evaluate.
I didn't need to know how to get to the result, I just knew what shape the result should look like so I could drive the LLM, and then I just had to read the result and google anything I didn't understand.
And ultimately, I don't really care "if it's good or not". The definition of "good" is that it works and is robust. Other than that, it's looking for code smells.

I guess I am lucky that most of my work is "one and done" instead of long-term support.

Wow, this violates privacy! You mean this scans for nearby devices? Completely exposing nearby consumers of those devices? Totally illegal

\s btw

As a solo dev, Claude has moved me from a "code writing developer" to a "system making developer".

Someone would come to me with a problem, I'd chew it over come up with a plan and execute it to the best of my ability. And I loved writing the code, solving the problems, learning new stuff, and ultimately seeing something I built get used and make other people's lives/jobs/whatever better.
But many times I would come to the conclusion that it's beyond my skillset (or I could do it, but the sheer quantity of learning would mean I don't hit the deadline or that I wouldn't be confident in the result) and not take on the work - despite understanding the problem they want to solve.

Now, someone comes to me with a problem and I either say "yeh, I can solve that. But let me dig into it a little first", or I say "I don't understand that enough to be able to design a solution for that".
It's no longer beyond my skillset. I have to understand the problem presented, I have to understand what the users want, and I have to understand what the result is. From this, I can know what the code/architecture/frameworks/stack will probably look like.
That's the first step of solving a programming problem.
I don't necessarily have to know/learn exactly how to achieve it.
It feels like I've gone from solo-dev to manager.
Thankfully, I guess, I've done full-stack, k8s, native app development. So I have experience.

Which brings me to my point:

I spent a few minutes reading through the documentation to better understand how the Astro configuration worked.

I've had this exact scenario.
Then I point Claude to the docs, and then it "knows" how to solve the problem.
I point Claude at the docs because I know the specific software can solve a part of my problem, because I have evaluated previously that it can.
I don't necessarily know exactly what I'm looking for, or what exactly the answer is. I don't necessarily know the keywords to be able to find it on DDG.
But Claude could probably suggest something, and I'll know what I'm looking for when I see it.
I've even had Claude build it's own docs from a GitHub repo of docs because the actual API docs are trash (looking at you Vimeo).

LLMs aren't smart. They are expensive to run. And they take a LOT of the fun and knowledge out of programming & development.
But they are a tool.

This is the kinda small script I use Claude for. So yeh, it's LLM generated. Downvote away.
But I am terrible at writing bash scripts!

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# rename-episodes.sh — run inside the folder, or pass a directory as $1

shopt -s nullglob
cd "${1:-.}" || exit 1

for f in *.mkv; do
    # Match: ... Season N ... Episode N - Title.mkv
    if [[ $f =~ Season\ ([0-9]+)\ Episode\ ([0-9]+)\ -\ (.+)\.mkv$ ]]; then
        season="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
        episode="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"
        title="${BASH_REMATCH[3]}"

        # Zero-pad to two digits
        new=$(printf "S%02dE%02d - %s.mkv" "$season" "$episode" "$title")

        if [[ "$f" != "$new" ]]; then
            echo "mv: $f  ->  $new"
            # uncomment the next line to actually move the file
            # mv -n -- "$f" "$new"
        fi
    else
        echo "skip (no match): $f"
    fi
done

I've commented out the mv command so you can test/fiddle/play around with it without clobbering your files.

Some notes from Claude:

Two practical notes:
If your files aren't all .mkv, change the glob (*.mkv) and the regex anchor accordingly, or loop over *.{mkv,mp4,avi}.
This assumes the literal words "Season" and "Episode" appear. If your real filenames vary (e.g. "S1", "1x01", "Ep 1"), the regex needs adjusting

Edit: I just realised that specifically file-rename is mentioned, and looks like you are getting appropriate help in other threads.

Never mind the damage it did to the launch pad.
And there is concern about possible damage to the other rocket in the FAB

I mean, we have rain all the time. I think all forests here are rainforests

Someone should peel him like an onion. A tasty tasty onion.

I'm ok with that. We had special treatment. People didn't want it

Certainly a juicy onion to take a bit of, regardless

The fix is clearly to have a group of non-medical people in charge of that pooled pot of money who can deny payments for arbitrary reasons.
I think this is the most sane solution
