Like, at the time I legitimately thought 'no way a project switches over in a few months'. Even as an absurd hypothetical, I couldn't even imagine the prospect of it being done in a matter of days.

     @feld they had an extensive test suite already, so this was possible. i think with a good test suite LLMs can rewrite anything to anything. we can probably let codex run for a week and get pleroma ported to go.

     @lain @feld @gabriel I've never written a test in my life. I don't even know what a test is. I ran the program, that's the test.
