Yes. We rewrote our entire internal tools backend and frontend with Claude in the last 6 months. This was a tool with about 15 years of development by humans.
We did not rewrite our customer app but all maintenance and new feature code is 99% AI agent written and has been for the last 6 months.
You're not going to see us write a blog post about it though. We prefer not to tell our customers that the software they use is mostly AI written.

- zhoBEENG 4mo agoIt’s also worth considering that a lot of this software will never be marketed, compared to in the past. For example, since it is now trivial to build a tool, why sell it? It is now economical to build a lot tools in-house.
- jonahbenton 4mo agoWith what process, spec driven? Having AI produce all the code is pretty common. An agentic workflow operating at a higher level of abstraction especially for brown field is not.
- aurareturn 4mo agoThe most important thing to this is people who have domain knowledge. The same leaders who built the original also built the new AI-written version. We know how it needs to work and we know when the AI goes off rails so we need to pull it back. There was a front page post on HN here a few weeks ago where it said something like the moat is domain knowledge. It was true for us when we rebuilt the internal tool from scratch.
