My favorite part of LLMs is that I now write so so much more Lisp!
The "missing dependency" problem doesn't slow me down as much. I can just ask the LLM to build me a crappy first version of the library I don't want to write myself, and I can go back to building a language around the problem space I'm exploring.

This book was generated by an LLM, and if I look at the Github organization that manages the repo, it looks like a bunch of other written material, all generated by LLMs. I scanned through the material a little bit and it seemed like exactly the sort of surface level gloss of topic that you'd expect an LLM to output. I didn't feel a ton of motivation to thoroughly go through the whole thing, in the same way that the author didn't feel a ton of motivation to actually learn about Lisp and then synthesize their knowledge into something novel that could potentially help other people. So it possible that there is more to this document than meets the eye, but right now I don't think I'm wrong in saying most people won't miss anything by skipping this.
