LLMs have been really helpful for me porting some JS projects to TS. Since the types are erased and annotations are optional, I can go gradually and safely with more minimal human oversight. (I'm not sure if it'll significantly help robustness, but it's lovely for navigation.)

Reviewing some of my earliest web projects: they have a mix of Postgres, MySQL and Mongo. These days I just use sqlite for all my personal projects. It's really good at my scale and makes deploying very easier.

Anthropic used Claude to write a C compiler in Rust (CCC). I've really enjoyed following the discussion. The initial post shows how they wrote the harness with GCC as an oracle and a prompt specifying a design using SSA. The author has clear domain expertise. https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler
