Yeah, it’s so easy to generate code that you can do a whole codebase rewrite in a day.

Is this a good idea? Probably not—in the past we would only do that when the architecture was causing serious problems since it always has tons of behaviors that will accidentally not get carried forward, some of which are load bearing and will cause bugs.

Now we can do it in an afternoon and get the same long term bug behavior.
