I have many times chastised commenters about shitting on other peoples toy/hobby/side projects, but like many others I'm a bit lost on the fun of iterating on "get the Linux 0.whatever source code and rewrite it in rust..." and then crowing "LOOK WHAT I DID!" on HN. If the OP had documented "this is how I prompted the code generating LLM du jour to produce an equivalent to this early Linux kernel, this is the AI workflow I used, and this is how I overcame the problems along the way..." or some such, I'd be all in on this being interesting. As it is, it's Yet Another LLM generated bit of self promotion avoiding saying 'AI did this' and disguised as 'innovation', just like the other ten thousand 'I took something people did all the hard work on and had AI gen up a clone in rust/go/python/whatever in an afternoon...aren't I clever'.

I feel like we are past the point where using an AI tool to translate some code, to write some code, to copy some code, is considered interesting or novel.

just putting "rewritten by AI" in the headline would prevent the missed expectation feeling I got from clicking into it. but it would also sound less cool and probably get fewer upvotes, so...
