Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
The time at which the source code was lost is irrelevant for decompilation, decompilation uses the binary files. Those are the files that are out there being played right now.
Until recently decompilers tended to produce rough and useless code for the most part, but I'm looking forward to seeing what modern LLMs will bring to decompilation. They could be trained specifically for the task.
You're missing the point of the comment you're replying to, which is that the devs don't understand decompilers RIGHT NOW, and it's formatted in a tongue in cheek way similar to their current comment about VCS
Great. Hallucinated decompiled code.
I'm all for AI, but there's gotta be a better way for machines to become intelligent. Not just "training and predicting without any thought in the process."
You're welcome to try other methods but LLMs seem to be working best so far.
With a decompiler it should be pretty straightforward to automatically check for "hallucinations," the compiled code is still right there and you can compare the decompiled logic to the original.
You have a point. I guess we could compile the decompiled code and compare the binaries.
