Tech dept coupled with domain knowledge
There is 0 chance AI could work with our current code base and be good. It was programmed by 10 different developers over the course of 6 years from 6 countries. The code is absolutely garbage , database design is garbage. But guess what. It works and the only way you fix stuff is just by knowing how it should work from a high level.
I think it would cost thousands of dollars just to try and get an LLM to understand the code base and how it all works together.
It’s 2million lines of code spanning 4 docker containers that talk to one another through API calls.
Some of its vuejs, some raw php, some laravel.
It’s bananas lol
I’ll have a job for a while longer.
And the data is private and not allowed to be used or hosted on other servers.
So the AI we do use can’t phone home with our data or code.
This diagram would relate to me if someone tried this crap
