Tangentially related: I needed to share some binary data from Java to python. Didn’t want to pull in protobuf (for probably mostly bad reasons), so I wrote a writer implementation in Java, then asked gpt4o to write the python reader. Worked like a charm - it produced a great starting point then refactored it to my liking.

All that to say: with chatbots being able to implement “the other side”, it really made it a lot easier to just whip up a custom schema and not really worry too much.

(Helped that it was a one off in my case, unclear how well this would scale to real world production usage)
