An Anthropic engineer did what everyone says cannot be done, and explained it simply enough for anyone to copy
Bun is a JavaScript runtime used by millions of developers. It was written in Zig, a language almost nobody knows, which made hiring and contributing hard.
So they decided to rewrite it in Rust. That meant rewriting half a million lines of Zig into a million lines of Rust, and rewrites of that size normally take a team a year or fail outright. Jarred Sumner did it in eleven days.
He did not sit there correcting the AI. He built something that corrects itself.
First he wrote down the rules for how to do the work. Three hours, no code.
Then he did three files out of 1,448 as a test, looked at what went wrong, improved the rules, and deleted the three files.
He never kept a to-do list. The folder was the list: anything without a finished version is still to do. So he could stop and restart whenever he wanted.
Every finished piece got checked by two other AIs that could not see how it was made, because one that watched the work happen just agrees with it.
The slow checks ran once at the end, not after every file.
And whenever the same mistake appeared a third time, he did not fix three files. He fixed one sentence in the rules and ran that part again.

I am now thoroughly convinced that any human organization with lots of squishy institutional memory and lots of paper, like VC funds, need to be massively automating and digitizing with custom AI buildouts.
