It's precisely because I'm not an AI naysayer that I reject the premise of the comparison. My job is not to produce as much code as I possibly can; my job is to produce features that provide value to customers in a high quality and regression-free manner. To accomplish this I use safer AI-enabled development strategies, which produce fewer lines of code and involve more manual review but also do not result in 1 regression per calendar day.

Again, you are comparing things which are not comparable.

"Working on a feature" and "Working on a language-to-language port of 1M LOC" are NOT the same thing.

You're also still bringing up "regression per day", while ignoring the fact that without AI, this would have taken easily ~4000 days. Which is 1 regression per 0.003 calendar day. Not the same.

And you still aren't addressing sibling comments reminding you that these aren't shipped migrations. I'll second the comment asking you whether your code is always perfect first-shot, because if we're going to count those bugs, we might be well above your 1/day number.

No, without AI, it wouldn't have been done, which would have led to exactly zero bugs added by a needless rewrite.
