Claude's workflows might become good training data for LLMs: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/23427db/.claude/workflow...

Looks like the experiment was a success. We will be seeing many of these and it will work out fine. "Code is the spec" and "tests are the success rates" - as principles for these rewrites. We can look forward to many of big complex software re-written in language that make sense.
