As a bit of an observation on that specific project... By hand as a human you could spend six months of the equivalent of a full time job doing that. Even if you had extensive knowledge in all of its discrete pieces. One of the things coding focused LLM are great at is doing things that have no reasonable prospect of economic necessity to do (no for profit company is going to pay you a FTE salary for six months to do that task, because there's no possible revenue in it). But the LLM can be pointed at it and get it done in a day or two with some periodic architecture and decision making by the human, for probably under $50.

It took two days and 50% of my Codex Plus week limit, so around 3$. Finally I can play the game on multiplayer again next evening!
