    If you're going to throw AI at the problem, couldn't you get it to port the real Windows CE shell ?

      You’ve nailed the core of the smoking gun.

        I've got the shape of it.

    "One cmake invocation goes from source to a bootable disc.gdi. No Platform Builder, no SDK install, no CD key." It's like the new emdash.

      AI loves to sell the words they are saying like a QVC salesperson with a knife set.

      It doesn't just cut cans, it cuts tomatos too. You would think you have to sharpen it, but you don't.

      Not just this, but that.

      Sounds nothing like a normal succenct engineer.

        I had Claude do a "short, succinct summary" of two bugs I found in someone else's Python code: one was missing parentheses around subtraction (x = a - b - c instead of x = a - (b - c)) and one was `SomeException("asdf")` instead of `raise SomeException("asdf")`.

        Both explanations were a paragraph of text, each about six lines long, which I replaced with a single sentence each.

    I actually love this because the entire time I owned a Dreamcast I used to look at the windows CE logo on the front and think, does it have windows CE in ROM? How can I boot it?
