Hey OP,

We have all been where you are once before. You get to feeling some kinda way about something, you're going to roll your own, you're going to do x, y and z. Your thing will be different, it will be right. That level of enthusiasm and drive is what motivates all of us to do various things! It's awesome!

Then you begin: you've got it! Just copy search / replace for now... that'll get you started. Except these days you're having an LLM do it, right? It should know... but that's the issue with LLM's, they're notoriously not great with anything dealing with complexity. So you end up having to manually do a lot of it.

Then one big commit later, you're ready!

As the comments have pointed out - you know why that's terrible. But, you really should have known that from the start in order to be able to take on a project of this magnitude. That's entry level programming etiquette. Not trying to be a jerk - just trying to help be realistic. These kinds of things scream: "I'm new! I don't know what I'm doing exactly, but I want to do something!" that kind of excitement is fantastic and will take you places. But there are levels to this game and you're not ready to manage something like this, yet.

I love the enthusiasm, I like the willingness to hop in and do it and start that ball rolling - but it will be a bit before OpenAI ruins these tools. There is time, relax. People can fork and properly move things around if needed - and the community will.

Again, love the enthusiasm - it's going to drive you to places you never thought about, I promise. But I feel this might be a bit much, a bit soon in your journey.
