$10k of AI inference ports TS to C++ in days, a job for expert teams over years

Developer jrysana reports spending roughly $10,000 on inference over a few days to have AI handle a large TypeScript-to-C++ port: it's apparently 95% done, a task that would have taken a team of human experts years, with very little of his own time invested. Kristoph quips: "code we never look at can now run on code no one ever looked at" — capturing how AI-generated code now ships at scale without human review.
