An LLM built the sandbox a big project had left undone for almost a decade

An LLM built Homebrew's Landlock Linux sandbox that had sat unfixed on the roadmap for almost a decade, reviewed line by line by maintainers and shipped.

How it works

  1. An LLM builds the Landlock sandbox
  2. Maintainers review it line by line
  3. It ships, closing a roadmap item that sat for almost a decade
