It turns out that thinking about and executing these commands at a superhuman speed is, to ape Claude, the real unlock.

Yeah, I've actually found in my own testing and usage of LLMs that this is where I get a lot of benefit. I already have fd, ripgrep, etc. installed and know how to use them, but it's not hard to tell the LLM to do it and it often finds things just as well. Or even better.

It's especially handy on modern style code where things get broken up across a multitude of files based on convention.
