> Our North Star is "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code"

Can someone explain this? Are they suggesting that (eventually) one engineer can produce 1 million lines of Rust code in a month? Or replace 1 million lines of C code?

Using new "powerful code processing infrastructure"... but would it understand the semantics? Are those semantics clearly documented?

It is reactive exaggerative marketing sloganeering Alan Kay ridicules executives in business class for having.

A paper on seL4 mentions $350 a source line of code on a 12 year engineering hour completed program that qualifies to a quality of code behavior expected from QNX.

My read is Rewrite it in Rust™ for the whole MS native language codebase, but with AI doing the heavy lifting of the rewrite. Except the heavy part of the rewrite would be the review process, and I would hope they aren't trusting that to predominately ML.

That line doesn't even make any sense. AI usage for a project is binary (either it requires a person, or it doesn't, there's no such thing where an AI is good for a team for a team of three but not a team of two). And we can already one-shot really complex applications in seconds/minutes. Why the hell would it take an entire month to generate one million lines of code?

It really just boils down to AI writing a million lines of code.

I actually think it can probably already do something like where there's a lot of boilerplate code.
