They literally threw out every line of code that existed before and rewrote it in a completely different language, seemingly on a whim. That's how it was trashed, in the very literal sense that all of the existing project was tossed in the trash in favor of a completely brand new code base. That's a big deal even if you ignore the coding agent aspects.

The worst part is that they basically didn't review the new code at all other than making sure it passes tests. We have no idea what could be lurking in the codebase now, and it's even all completely un-idiomatic, Zig-ish Rust.
