first actual use of iterate ... I don't why it was a blind spot for me. Don't tell me: the chat zombies know it and humans are dumb. Cos they don't know anything and yes, OK I might be 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've used it a couple of times. I think it has a bit of a naming problem. There's also iteration which is a more recent addition that has zero relation to iterate .

Never seen an LLM use it. They tend to use more generic patterns in their solutions in my experience, e.g. some combination of map/reduce/filter, rather than the specialised functions.

the next model though 🤖 🤣

That made me check our code at work: we have one usage in a one-off data migration we wrote years ago, and we have four in tests.

Mine's in a test, to produce a series of times that are n mins ahead of each other

seancorfield 2025-10-22T13:57:25.417199Z

Yeah, our uses in tests are similar, producing series of test data.

I think I’ve used it to generate a seq of instants before.
