I've only got a few VPS instances, but setting hostnames automatically to match Ansible inventory makes my life so much easier. I should have done this way sooner. It's so much nicer than seeing wilfred@ubuntu on every box I ssh into.

LLMs are great at style transfer, and this works surprisingly well for syntactic transformations too. I rewrote a small website's EJS templates to 1500 LOC of TSX with a oneshot in Claude. It took ~12 minutes, but it just worked. (TSX seems nicer than EJS for static analysis.)

I think you could build an interesting IDE with a tiny embedded LLM in addition to the usual tooling. Features like 'extract method' would be much nicer if an LLM could provide a name. Choosing a good name is virtually impossible from just a typed AST.
