alt Hacker NewsYesterday I stopped hating AI because it converted an old webpack project with impenetrable plugin settings to a single simple Vite config.
I still don't understand how people used to think scripts like this are the proper way to bundle an app.

vite is great, is all I am saying
800 lines config to compile code that's later interpreted is wild. I get the general idea behind having a script instead of a static config, so you can do some runtime config (whether or not we should have runtime changes to config is a different conversation), but this is absurd.
I'm a big believer in fully reviewing all LLM generated code, but if I had to generate and review a webpack config like this, my eyes would gloss over...
