i don't like to be overly enthusiastic, but an obvious instrument i see right now that would be capable to refactor 30 million lines are LLM. They might be a good tool to provide superhuman code simplification.
- eska 3y agoI don’t think that throwing even more complexity at not only our problems but also our solutions is the lesson from that.
- bsaul 3y agoit's a one-time shot though. You see what suggestions the LLM is producing, and decide or not to apply them. Once the code is refactored, you get back to regular coding.
- flohofwoe 3y agoThat doesn't sound like it's less work than an "AI free" approach. The tricky part with refactoring isn't figuring out what needs to be changed and how, but to implement the change in a way that it works with the rest of the system, while at the same time actually improving things (and not just applying a different coding style).
