LLMs are great at style transfer, and this works surprisingly well for syntactic transformations too. I rewrote a small website's EJS templates to 1500 LOC of TSX with a oneshot in Claude. It took ~12 minutes, but it just worked. (TSX seems nicer than EJS for static analysis.)

I've started keeping a list of particularly interesting bugs and patches that I've worked on: https://github.com/Wilfred/interesting-code The time that I once removed *a single closing paren* in Emacs is still my favourite.

I have a bunch of open tasks on my GH repos, so I tried asking ChatGPT and Claude to write a card-based web UI that showed some random open issues. ChatGPT gave me something that worked, but the Claude mock-ups look better (and render inline!).
