I have a youtube channel with a playlist of coding with AI, where I show what I do with it (a small part, actually, but representative enough I hope). This is is the first video of the series I believe:

And here, Redis bugfixing with Claude Sonnet:

I don't get it. Watched the first video, and it seems like the LLMs provided no value at all? Like, you already knew where the bug was, and what the bug was, and they couldn't find it? So 20+min of messing around with prompts and reading through pages of output.. for nothing? How is this supposed to help?

In the video I show what happened AFTER the LLM fixed the bug while I was not recording. Of course I had no idea where the bug was, when the LLM found it. After a refactoring I removed a line for a mistake, causing a memory corruption. The LLM seeing the code and the patch immediately pointed out what the issue was.

Many thanks! I will take a look!
