DHH lets AI coding agents run all day rewriting Campfire, with C now in the lead
tristanbob · x · 2026-10-09
DHH shares progress on his Campfire rewrite journey: he lets AI coding agents ("clankers") run for a full day, then reviews all submitted PRs, verifies the work, merges what's ready, and asks the agents to port architectural improvements to every implementation.
Among the competing language ports, C is now in the lead. Retweeter tristanbob quips that Campfire may soon be "the fastest app in the world" — a notable case of long-running autonomous coding with human PR review and architecture back-porting.
