My old 2016 MacBook Pro has been collecting dust in a cabinet for some time now. The laptop suffers from a “flexgate” problem, and I don’t have any practical use for it. For quite some time, I’ve been thinking about repurposing it as a guinea pig, to play with FreeBSD — an OS that I’d aspired to play with for a long while, but had never had a real reason to. During the recent holiday season, right after FreeBSD 15 release, I’ve finally found time to set the laptop up. Doing that I didn’t plan, or even think, this may turn into a story about AI coding.

    I don’t quite understand all the downvotes unless people aren’t reading the post? I get that nobody wants a LLM to be writing drivers, but this article is basically a “let’s see if it can do it” - sharing the author’s experience and results (which he pretty much says not to use at the end)! It’s still an interesting read to see how the technology performs at this task and the number of hoops the author had to jump through to get any kind of functional result.
