[GNC] Sharing Some Changes With the GnuCash Community

[Ken Pyzik]

John - Agree 100%.  Having been in IT development for many years, what is absolutely the best is the ability to do super-fast debugging.  LLMs can spot a misspelled command or a missed { or [ or a logic mismatch a zillions times faster than anyone can.  And as you said, it writes the code a zillion times faster than any of us ever could.

There’s enough code and commentary about the code on the web that the probability of generating what the user is asking for very high, as long as the user is very specific about what they want, doesn’t ask for too much at once, and carefully reviews and corrects the results. An LLM can “type” a million or more times faster than a human can, so once the user gets adept at writing good prompts the process is is much faster than writing the code oneself. I’ve heard/read many senior devs describe it as programming rocket fuel.
