The AI wrote my device provisioner and cut each board from hours to 2 or 3 minutes

He had wanted an automatic provisioner for his boards for a long time but it was a whole project on its own, so he told the AI to write it. Some physical steps still need him, but each board now takes 2 to 3 minutes instead of a few stressful hours.

How it works

  1. Tells the AI to write the automatic provisioner he had long put off
  2. The tool takes over the setup steps
  3. A few physical steps stay manual
  4. Each board now takes 2 to 3 minutes instead of a few hours

Why it’s worth knowing

A tool he had avoided building for a long time was written on request, and a job that took hours now takes minutes per board.
