I'm sure that some LLM could have been thrown at the issue, too, and after some prompt massaging, the root cause might have been found, eventually.
But what's the fun in that? Would I have felt as accomplished with my witty prompt massaging vs actually using my wetware to work the issue itself?

@harrysintonen@infosec.exchange Indeed. And I bet your mental model of the code was improved by the process.
