Refactoring 370 Files in 11 Hours (thanks Claude)
What happens when you need to refactor 377 files in a SvelteKit codebase? Without AI, you retire. With Claude Code, you ship it in 11 hours.
This talk walks through real-world examples of using Claude Code for massive refactoring work that would be soul-crushing to do manually. I'll cover:
How I approach large-scale refactors with Claude (377 files → 364 files → and counting)
Building and activating Claude Code skills reliably (based on my viral post that's getting 4k+ views in 3 days)
The workflow patterns that actually work vs the ones that waste your time
Real examples from production codebases
This isn't about AI replacing developers - it's about using AI to handle the tedious parts so you can focus on the interesting problems.
