Ladybird is 425k LOC. Chromium is 3.5m LOC.

Starting a new browser, using LLMs... Is not going to maintain enough context.

Whilst Andreas does use Copilot a fair bit [0], he tends to do a line at a time, frequently disagree and rewrites his own, before prompting again. That is... He basically uses it as a fancy autocomplete. Not much else.

Fancy or not an autocomplete is autocomplete. What if it autocompletes one class or one function at a time? Does this make it obnoxious to even think asking about it on HN?

We've had macro expansion since the 80s. If your IDE can't autocomplete, then it's a text editor and not an IDE. Which makes it an irrelevant question to ask, because it has no impact on making something feasible or not.

Of course, brother, that’s the point. And while oldies one by one get to pair their IDEs with RAG+LLM autocompletes, some brothers keep raging against people using higher level code assistance.

Which is both ridiculous and also very agressive.

		I'm not raging... But again... It's not relevant, here.

I believe Chromium is closer to 35m LOC
