I’m curious what your process was. If you just said “rewrite this in Java” I’d expect that to fail. If you treated the llm like a junior developer or an official project, worked with them to document the codebase, come up with a plan, tasks for each part of the code base and a solid workflow prompt- I would expect it to succeed.
There is a reason to go the extra mile for juniors. They eventually learn and become seniors. With AI I'd rather just do it myself and be done with it.
But you can just do it once with AI. It’s just a script process that you would set up for any project. It’s just an on boarding process.
And I’ll know by when I say do it once I mean, obviously processes have to be it on to get exactly what you want out of them, but that’s just how process works . Once it’s working the way you want to just reuse it.
