I found a cool custom SQLite database parser built in TypeScript the other day.

I thought WordPress could use a PHP one to support importing data from .sqlite files in environments without the SQLite PHP extension.

Then I thought LLMs are decent at porting libraries.

10 minutes later I was looking at a PHP version.

5 minutes after that I had a draft PR.

Pretty cool.

The LLM code is messy. It still needs hours of human reviewing, testing, and cleaning up. Still, it’s cool to get to the shitty first draft this fast.
