Olisiko hyvä idea kuvata vähän miten suuri homma oli kyseessä, jotta lukijat saa paremman kuvan mittakaavasta. Ihan vaikka koodirivejä tai sitten monta tiedostoa piti portata tjsp |

Hyvä idea, lisätty planning-kohtaan maininta: several tens of thousands of lines |

Mielenkiintoinen ja hyvin kirjoitettu postaus. Tällaisia juttuja tuli mieleen lukiessa:

Mietin myös, että pitäisikö porttaukseen johtaneita syitä verrattuna porttauksen lopputulokseen käsitellä enemmän. Nopeusetu mainitaan, mutta olisiko tarpeen oma kappaleensa jossa käydään läpi miten uusi toteutus täytti sille asetetut tavoitteet. |

| I might not have dared to start thinking about AI-assisted code porting without previous experience. Luckily, I had already ported my personal chess game project written in Java over 10 years ago into a web-based version. The porting was a success, so I was fairly convinced that AI had reached a level where even larger project's technology — several tens of thousands of lines — could be reasonably switched. The experience also gave me some intuition about how to approach a port and what to expect. | ||

| To begin code porting with AI, you need two things: An LLM (Large Language Model), which is essentially a machine that is used to generate text based on statistics and probabilities, and an AI agent that is able to figure things out on its own by using the LLM. In my case, the tool of choise was **GitHub Copilot** (the VS Code extension with agentic capabilities) and **Claude Opus 4.6** model. |
