Need some more feedback when preparing. Said «preparing» 10 seconds on 500 Mbit WiFi with iPhone. Unsure if it’s not working or still downloading.


Hm that's strange. I have 300mbit here and the entire WASM blob is 30mb, it really should go through fast. It's hosted by Deno as a WebSocket proxy and file server.

I'm wondering if it's mostly the WASM setup itself (after transfer).


> Now, no one does.

I got a chuckle over this, but in my experience working on legacy systems, this is the case already. Using AI to translate/explain the code brings extra understanding.


Can it really explain the code if the information is not there anymore ? It was in a binder that got shredded 40 years ago by accident.

More like it will hallucinate some explanation & cause even more confusion.


Yes, it would take a long time for humans to remake a documentation from the codebase itself, but AI could do that much quicker and with close to perfect accuracy, Code is superior to documentation as it's the direct intended behavior (including bugs), in a sense, we won't even need documentation in the future, except maybe to lower AI costs.


If what you want is the "Why", you're right it probably won't get it right. It'll just give you baseless speculation. But if what you want is the "What" or the "How", I think it can be useful.


The code is the information. If you need binders of info then it wasn’t codified


Whilst true, it's not without its gotchas, and I saw a video the other day that elegantly highlights this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6MAZW-joCo. A false sense of confidence is bad; one that is offloaded onto somebody else is another.
