@sickburnbro LLMs are really good at turning working code into other working code, especially with sufficient testing which with working code can include feeding it the same inputs to see if it gets the same outputs. This is actually significantly easier than creating code from scratch.
hardest hit: proprietary blobs (the objdump'd binary is also "working code"), legacy sunk-cost systems, and companies that fired all the devs 10 ten years ago and have been just milking the cow until it dies off, since.
