AI Migration at SCALE: Make Complex Code Tasks 10X Faster (The Blueprint)
summary
Claims that AI cuts migration time in half and handles thousands of files: demos show an AngularJS→Angular in <30 minutes migration with tests added and a callback-to-async refactor in <5 minutes, tests passing. Tools used include OpenAI Codex and GitHub Copilot* plus agent frameworks (Aviator/Sourcegraph-style) that analyze call graphs, detect antipatterns and decompose monoliths; Google-style workflows feed up to 50 related files, use iterative retries, require regression suites, and achieve large reductions in manual engineering time.
