alt Hacker NewsMany repeat the point of “$165k is cheaper than team of multiple engineers working on the rewrite for a year”, which I think is flawed — the team of engineers would have produced idiomatic rust, and it would take probably 100k+ of tokens more to make the bun in rust idiomatic rust.

I use more (albeit cached) when centering a div.

I doubt file by file rewriting takes as much work as rewriting and refactoring the code - especially at this scale.

They also would have produced a team of engineers that knows the Rust codebase.
