i have no idea why nobody is doing it - it is such an obvious use case of LLMs. i guess the reveng market is much smaller than most people realized?

then again, who needs reveng when you can use said LLMs to write new software "just in time" with the same API.

reveng also was one of those industries that always had a very suspicious crowd of people - i dont mean malicious, i mean... a lot of them drew a disturbing amount of pleasure from doing incredibly labourious work, sort of like someone who enjoys putting together an airfix model over many months with a microscopic brush and tweezers.

so i wonder if a lot of them perversely enjoy starting at reams of bytes and putting together this 10,000 piece puzzle, and having an llm solve it for them is a deep affront to their tastes.
