Yes, that's certainly the effect of linkbait titles, which is why HN's guidelines call for changing them:

"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

If anyone suggests a better title (i.e. accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article), we can change it.

> how to catapult your productivity to the heavens via a series of command line wrapper functions around the OpenAI API.

is in the first paragraph. I think that's too long for HN though, so maybe:

> how to catapult your productivity via command line functions around OpenAI.

Thanks! "How to catapult your productivity" is still too linkbaity, though. The second half is good. Can you/anyone neutralize the first bit?

I asked Bing chat to summarize the article and suggest a neutral headline based on the content -

Headline: Here’s a neutral headline for the article: “Improving Programmer Productivity with Command Line Wrapper Functions around OpenAI API” .

Summary: The article at https://kadekillary.work/posts/1000x-eng/ discusses how to improve programmer productivity using command line wrapper functions around the OpenAI API. The author provides examples of functions for generating text and images, and for making code edits. The article is written by Kade Killary and was published on their website on March 29th, 2023

I prefer your edit. I found it interesting that ChatGPT can be useful in some cases to neutralize sensational language.

The first bit still doesn't seem to me to add much so I just went with the second half of zamnos's suggestion above.
