Not the OP but I just got done with a codebase-wide re-architecture (driven by a need for a complex data migration) in a little ~2.5 weeks. 800+ files changed, 60k+ line diff.

Without AI it would have taken me several months, and that is only if I managed to avoid burnout. The vendor quotes we got just to see if we could outsource the work were all six figures.

Ha.. I did the same thing. Massive speed boost for things like this.
Did you thoroughly review the 60k line diff?
Yes, every line.
