in case it's not glaringly obvious from the comment, he has plenty of cpp experience and little rust experience, and that's according to his own comments
replythe relevant bit here is that he's porting from a language in which he has plenty of experience into another one in which he doesn't, in a large project
that in itself sounds like putting a lot of faith in LLMs but maybe there are factors not mentioned here, which is why i said "on the surface"
Indeed, the hard part won't the port, but the maintenance of that which got ported. To be fair though, he's probably going to be able to use the same techniques for that.
replyIt's hard to articulate, but as someone who knows first hand, I just want to say that manic productivity is not the same as solid engineering.
