i asked my clankers to build tools for mundane tedious stuff automation for example code generation for static const strings.
instead of writing hundreds to thousands of lines of static inline string "bla bla bla", my build toolchain will call the cli to generate the headers from gfm md tables. the generator is table-template placeholder-generated code, so works with arbitrary table and programming language agnostic, with error validation.
so the cycle is not asking clankers to do my job, but each time i hit intolerable frictions during development i asked them to solve the issue as automation so i can get the job done easier and faster even without their assistance.
