This is exactly why we did a from scratch rewrite with AI

iterating on old world codebases with AI doesn't make sense. It increases security risks, has worse performance, etc.

Why renovate a house while you're still living in it when you can build a new one from the ground up

We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:

鈻笍 Was really slow
鈻笍 Had many security vulnerabilities
鈻笍 Was under-specified and incorrect

AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.

It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.

In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.
