>Though yeah unless there's some good software already built around a similar LLM workflow I could use it'd probably be wasted on me, or spend its time desperately trying to pay for itself with crypto mining.

A big part of my success using LLMs to build software is building the tools to use LLMs and the LLMs making that tool building easy (and possible).

I tried this for a little while and couldn't really get passionate about it; I have too many other backlogged projects that I was eager to tear into with LLMs and I got impatient. That was a while ago though and the ROI for building my own tools has probably gotten a lot more attractive.

I started building my own tool set because I was doing too many projects with LLMs and getting frustrated by a very real need for organization and tooling to get repetitive meaningless tasks out of the way and to get all of my projects organized so I could see what was going on.

		I'm convinced. :) I've got some time to kill in transit later today, maybe time to think about my setup a bit.
