Do you mind getting into specifics about how you've been using AI to restructure your code? What tools are you using, and how large is the code base you're working with?



Using a combination of both chatgpt and claude/sonnet. Codebase is not very complex or cutting edge (e.g., data pipeline to maintain a local db, and an analytics system). These are not enterprise or even public facing applications.

For additional context I have not been a software engineer professionally for over a decade but still am in the engineering field.

Usually I will feed in a few functions (or just 1), sometimes a whole module if it small enough, and prompt it for general performance, and maintainability improvements. I just kinda iterate from there. I also restart chats often
