This seems like an interesting project but the Claude writing rubs me the wrong way. I couldn't finish it, unfortunately, but props for building it!

The entire point of a rewrite is to get rid of the behaviour you don't want, while you keep the behaviour you do want. Consider the pathological case: Rewriting your FORTRAN codebase in Rust would obviously be useless if you had to reimplement every bug in the rewrite.

An LLM doesn't have enough context to know what you so and don't want. If you give it call logs for every function that was called and how, maybe, but a seasoned engineer will have more context around what the company needs.

Eh, it's just an extra "what".

This is just such a weird take. By that logic, even the Nazi party weren't Nazis before they came into power.

What, you don't burn your car and drive it off a cliff on its three-year anniversary?

Yes, I used Claude Design. I'm not amazed by the colours, because they look LLMy, but it's much better than anything I could do by hand.

That's how my UK friends speak. Maybe it's a regional thing?

Not right now, sorry!

Ahh, sorry, my bad.

It's not stereotyping when it can be applied to basically every country in the world, including the US.

And it would also set later, which is my personal preference as a Greek.

Every single comment I've seen here seems to miss that, in the UK, "else" is the preferred word to use in these contexts.

"We'd better hurry, else we'll be late", or "I could go to a pub, else we can just stay home" is exactly the correct UK usage.

I guess the UK largely isn't up yet, hence this sort of comment missing.

That is exactly the correct UK usage.
