    At first I thought this would be an interesting article, but as soon as they mentioned using an LLM to do the conversion I lost all interest. It's like saying "I wanted this done so I got my underling to do it, here is my story...". Like why would I bother to read it then, as it was clearly not you doing the conversion or putting any thought into it.

    I'm not sure any language + framework prioritizes developer happiness as much as Ruby on Rails.

      I get a similar feeling from Elixir and Phoenix without the method_missing foot gun.

    "I have no idea if it works or not because I haven’t yet tried running it. But it's 5x shorter!"

      The fact that it doesn't end with what happens when they run `rails server` makes me think they did it and didn't like the results.
