Here is the plaintext: ### ast-grep vs ripgrep (quick guidance) **Use `ast-grep` when structure matters.** It parses code and matches AST nodes, so results ignore comments/strings, understand syntax, and can **safely rewrite** code. * Refactors/codemods: rename APIs, change import forms, rewrite call sites or variable kinds. * Policy checks: enforce patterns across a repo (`scan` with rules + `test`). * Editor/automation: LSP mode; `--json` output for tooling. **Use `ripgrep` when text is enough.** It’s the fastest way to grep literals/regex across files. * Recon: find strings, TODOs, log lines, config values, or non‑code assets. * Pre-filter: narrow candidate files before a precise pass. **Rule of thumb** * Need correctness over speed, or you’ll **apply changes** → start with `ast-grep`. * Need raw speed or you’re just **hunting text** → start with `rg`. * Often combine: `rg` to shortlist files, then `ast-grep` to match/modify with precision. **Snippets** Find structured code (ignores comments/strings): ```bash ast-grep run -l TypeScript -p 'import $X from "$P"' ``` Codemod (only real `var` declarations become `let`): ```bash ast-grep run -l JavaScript -p 'var $A = $B' -r 'let $A = $B' -U ``` Quick textual hunt: ```bash rg -n 'console\.log\(' -t js ``` Combine speed + precision: ```bash rg -l -t ts 'useQuery\(' | xargs ast-grep run -l TypeScript -p 'useQuery($A)' -r 'useSuspenseQuery($A)' -U ``` **Mental model** * Unit of match: `ast-grep` = node; `rg` = line. * False positives: `ast-grep` low; `rg` depends on your regex. * Rewrites: `ast-grep` first-class; `rg` requires ad‑hoc sed/awk and risks collateral edits.

A useful addendum to your AGENTS dot md or CLAUDE dot md file. First ask codex or claude code to install ast-grep for you if you don't have it already. It's pretty handy for systematically finding general patterns in code that could be tricky to do using regular string matching that's not syntax-aware.

![The entire internet being written by ChatGPT makes it feel like you're following a single person with millions of accounts
It's the same writer with millions of different human skins
Tbh if you went to ChatGPT and just said, "make me a social media feed that I can scroll on that looks like different people", it would pretty much look the same as what you see on a lot of platforms, especially LinkedIn and Reddit (but getting worse on X)
I think in general it diminishes the idea sharing value of social media, where you can scroll and hear generally interesting takes that are not "ChatGPT please write me an engaging social media post about [thing]"
I strongly believe that unfiltered, full-auto AI needs to be left *off of social media. It's a useful assist, but it shouldn't replace your voice entirely. Our social lives and connections are the last human thing we have left before becoming completely virtually isolated data annotation batteries
One can of course argue that social media was already creating virtual isolation but it's not going to get better by replacing human creators with automation
Then, there's also something to be said about the potential for social engineering on a massive scale when millions of people are just copy/pasting what ChatGPT tells them and reinforcing the AI's word in public as their own opinions...](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fprofile_images%2F1962639605775192064%2FI5aiKnYT_400x400.jpg&w=3840&q=75 "The entire internet being written by ChatGPT makes it feel like you're following a single person with millions of accounts

It's the tech equivalent of bemoaning an indie band for "selling out" if they dare produce a hit that lets them play stadiums. Defining your identity around using Linux BECAUSE it's not mainstream is the same sort of hipster pathology.
