#4Interesting idea! Somewhat related - I do wonder sometimes how much time is wasted, tokens used, trees burned, by different people doing the same task of just trying to get something to work.

Me when I see literally anything at work or on the internet these days :(

Ironically, AI is really great at making legacy repos work. I have Claude do it all the time.
It’ll fix up environments, bump versions, fix compiler issues and outdated code, give you a better user interface (or create one to begin with). I usually point to this when people question if AI has productivity benefits, because it’s a massive time saver for me. I have spent hours in the past trying to chase down some obscure platform-specific GCC error on Stack Overflow.
Ideally pay it forward and PR the things you fixed.

#9Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
Don't post generated text or AI-edited text. HN is for conversation between humans.[1]

Please don’t discourage people from sharing personal projects they clearly put a lot of thought and effort into. I found this very interesting, potentially useful, and I never would have discovered it without this post. Just because the person who posted it created it doesn’t make it any less meaningful. I’m sure the average reader of HN can recognize honesty in self-promotion when they see it and vote accordingly.
I would vastly prefer content like this on HN rather than lazy posts of popular news articles that I could have found through any other tech news aggregator.
