Comment on Pointing at the error: compiler-style diagnostics in uutils coreutilsparent

Comments

Insane to be adding complexity, breaking compatibility and introducing new bugs to software that needs to function correctly.

On one hand yes. On the other hand maybe adding this detailed error reporting will prove so useful to LLMs that it helps uutils adoption grow significantly, instead of uutils fading into obscurity while the world keeps running on the original coreutils.

AI would do better with a wordier textual description, rather than a 2d layout.
