saves me weeks of work

In the thread “Specsmaxxing – On overcoming AI psychosis, and why I write specs in YAML”, replying to this comment

Helped: Using existing code as spec to generate BNF, then new parser.

… Then all I needed to do is take what was parsed and pipe it into our existing software that took the structured format the python created. Most of what I do is brownfield work and I really can't put our whole code base into an LLM because of IP issues, but for little things like this, is saves me weeks of work.
