I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable making large changes to a complex legacy code base with just an LLM. But I think an LLM could be a big help to try to understand a complex legacy code base. As long as you are verifying what it is saying (which you would naturally kind of have to for that use case).

I absolutely agree with you. I think this quote in the article gave me the impression that they are talking more about vibe coding it at scale rather than llm assisted engineering.

  "Our strategy is to combine AI and Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases. Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’"
