Long ago, a proud moment for me was writing -20K lines of code in a month.

A few years ago, I tried that again with a remote team of 20 coders. I failed; I couldn't keep up with the barrage of pull requests.

Today, pair programming with Claude Code and GPT feels more like the later.

I think there is an opportunity here for smart refactoring. But, needs a larger context. I tried this on some legacy code with Cursor and Claude opus 4.1, but a million tokens is not enough. I dunno; maybe translate between a private and shared LLM. Has anyone tried this?
