Yes it is a maintenance deadend for LLMs it's notorious codebases start accumulating enormous amount of tech debt and that it gets almost impossible to unravel it even with the best agent
replyI've never seen it happen. You say this and it's likely one anecdotal claim. At the same time there's counter points like Bun getting rewritten in rust.
replyThis is talk and talk is cheap. Prove it, otherwise it's still a million dollar question... unanswered.
HN is notoriously mentally deficient when it comes to AI. They were wrong about self driving cars (I sit in AI cars daily), they were wrong about AI getting used for coding (I don't use an IDE or type code anymore as a SWE). So I have to say unless there's something evidence based or substantial here it's likely given HN track record that most people here will end up being another wrong, baseless and over confident answer.
I'm looking for legit answers not confidently biased statements with no evidence.
Bun getting rewritten in Rust is not really the counter point you think it is. The rust version hasn't shipped yet, so there hasn't even been a chance to see if the code can be maintained. It's an impressive feat no doubt, but until they've maintained it on a months to years timeline, it's also just talk with no evidence.
