Well, you really want to ditch 4.8, and quick. Right now it’s already in No Support status, very soon it will be in TLM / deprecated.
I’ll let you know how Claude Code did with it. Took quite a few context tokens.... 89k I think... about $20 of compute.
If it can work for you, DO IT. And it won’t replace 25% of your work force. All it will really do is help you clear your Backlog. If my effort succeeded, then it would take the manpower cost down from 100 man-months (10 people at 10 months) down to 1 man-month. While that looks a little scary, we have SO MUCH tech debt and backlog that it won’t cause a job loss. In fact, I think I’m hearing our group is actually hiring!
Not according to MS. The say it’s supported as long as the Windows it’s on is supported, and they’re not dropping it from the next version of Windows. No new dev. But that’s fine. According to our folks Core is so stripped down we’d just wind up dropping .Net entirely. We’ll see.
It SHOULDN’T cause job loss. But it all depends on your company. My company openly resents having employees. I really gotta get out of this place.
