Comment on Ask HN: What coding stuff do you know off the top of your head?

Surprisingly LLM stuff. After years of teaching bootcamps, writing tutorials, I get a good feel of where humans make mistakes. It's similar with LLMs, though in different ways.

Like one of the less common hacks I did was to use YAML over JSON for communicating, because the way it tokenizes data gives it a few extra IQ points when processing YAML. If there's a mistake, I can quickly identify which part of the pipeline it's failing on.
