That’s peanuts, if not the shells of the peanuts, for a project and company of this magnitude
- _pdp_ 2mo agoHow does that help 99.9% of all other companies though?
- Xenoamorphous 2mo agoSome thoughts: - just because it doesn’t help 99.9% of the companies today it doesn’t mean it won’t help them tomorrow - 0.01% of the companies employ a much bigger percentage of people - 99.9% of companies won’t need to do a project of this magnitude
- nevertoolate 2mo agoSo you think if a company can't spend 1 million USD on a rewrite which has almost zero impact on performance, possibly net negative on maintainability it also can't have 500k LOC codebase either? Oh come on...
- jraph 2mo agoThis rewrite is showcased by Anthropic to sell AI rewrites to other companies. If it turns out the rewrite cost stupid amounts of money and leads to a bad outcome, it's just a misleading ad. We developers now need to explain that to illuminated management and colleagues.
- tomlockwood 2mo agoOhhhhh for a world where that's peanuts for an open source project.
