I spent ~$1500 (and a bit more than two months) building a compiler that translates typescript to native binaries. I think I'll be able to do a Show HN later this month. It's the best $1500 I've ever spent on anything related to software development or computers.
You're not addressing the idea in the post, but the person. What the author achieved personally is irrelevant. What's important is that a very large and important industry is being completely transformed.
Add: if I did it without LLMs it would have taken me a year, and would have been less complete.
- acedTrex 9mo ago"building a compiler that translates typescript to native binaries" Is a really weird way to say that you built a native compiler for typescript.

Well, the Typescript team is rewriting their compiler (landing in v7) in go, and some ppl call it the native compiler. I think my statement is clearer? But then English is not my first language, so there's that.
