piker | on: Cisco gives engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite legacy code
Is this like a PR piece for the guy? It's odd to see him singled out in a piece that would be normally be about the company, the CEO or the decision itself.

Seems like preparing who to blame if/once the effort fails. ;-)

It does sound strange, like it was written by PR people. Tools are good but usually it is more subtle than asking one guy to rewrite everything. And of course any code written yesterday is legacy but it does not mean it should be rewritten.
