Are you sure you will be able to spend time playing around that kind of stuff when anthropic/openai/google/etc make you jobless? (well, perhaps not YOU precisely, but 90% of devs, so there’s a high chance).

We always think it’s not gonna hit us… we may be wrong

I don't think this kind of thing works nearly so well without a comprehensive test suite or the ability to easily use the reference version as a test harness. The typical enterprise relic for which no specification or source remains almost surely lacks the former and probably isn't very amenable to the latter.
