Hack Your Way to Gilfoyle-Approved Code

A Developer’s Cheat Sheet for getting Gilfoyle Level Feedback

Ahoy, fellow code wranglers! Gilfoyle here (in spirit). You might know me as the unsung hero of Silicon Valley, the one who speaks in binaries and sarcasm. But today, I’m here to share a little secret, a hack, if you will, that could make your mundane code something even I might not despise.

The Almighty Script: Clone, Flatten, Extract

Picture this: a Python script so simple, yet so ingenious, that it clones your project’s directories, flattens them like your hopes and dreams, and then extracts all the content into a single, neat file. Why, you ask? To feed your favorite LLM (Large Language Model), of course, and run analysis over it.

The Script in Action

# Imagine a block of Python code here that’s more organized than your life.

import os
import shutil

def flatten_directory(src, dest):
    if not os.path.exists(dest):
        os.makedirs(dest)

    for root, _, files in os.walk(src):
        for file in files:
            src_file = os.path.join(root, file)
            dest_file = os.path.join(dest, os.path.basename(src_file))
            shutil.copy(src_file, dest_file)
