I needed to track the growth of "tx_ucast_packets" in each queue on a network interface earlier.

I asked my friendly LLM to run every second and dump the delta for each queue into a csv, 10 seconds to write what I wanted, 5 seconds later to run it, then another 10 seconds to reformat it after looking at the output.

It had hardcoded the interface, which is what I told it to do, but I'm happy with it and want to change the interface, so again 5 seconds of typing and it's using argparse to take in a bunch of variables.

That task would have taken me far longer than 30 seconds to do 5 years ago.

Now if only AI can reproduce the intermittent problem with packet ordering I've been chasing down today.
