How does that help 99.9% of all other companies though?

  Some 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

    So 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...

    This 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.
