Sorry, the language my original post might seem confrontational, but that is not my intension; I m trying to find value in LLM, since people are excited for it.

I am not a professional programmer nor do I program any industrial sized project at the moment. I am a computer scientist, and my current research project do not involve much programming. But I do teach programming to undergrad and master students, so I want to understand what is a good usecase for this technology, and when can I expect it to be helpful.

Indeed, I am frustrated by this technology, and that might shifted my language further than I intended to. When everyone is promoting this as a magically helpful tool for CS and math, yet I fail to see any good applications for either in my work, despite going back to it every couple month or so.

I did try @eslint/migrate-config, unfortunately it added a good amount of bloat and ends up not working.

So I just gived up and read the doc.

Gotcha. No worries. I figured you were coming in good faith but wasn't certain. Who is pushing llm's for programming that hard? In my bubble, which often includes Lemmy, most people HATE them for all uses. I get that tech bros and linked in crazies probably push this tech for coding a lot, but outside of that, most devs I know IRL either are lukewarm or dislike llm's for dev work.
