Yeah I feel like Claude Code is basically tailor made for a use-case like this. Where:
* I have forked some public repository that has kept up with upstream (IE; lots of example code to draw from)
* Upstream is publishing documentation on what's changing
* The errors are somewhat google-able
* Can be done in a VM and thrown away
* Limited attack surface anyway.
I think you're downvoted because the comment comes across as glib and handwavy (or not moving the discussion forward.. maybe?), and if it was a year ago I would probably argue against it.. but I think Claude Code can definitely help with this.
It just didn't exist as it does in 2023~ or whenever it was that I originally started having issues.

That said: it shouldn't be necessary. As others in this thread have articulated (well, imo) sometimes software is "done" and Hugo could be "done" software, except it's not; so the onus is on the operator to pin their definition of "done" version.. which is not what you'd expect.

Yep. I missed the mark.
OP seemed down and out about their blog being broken. So I was trying to put the idea across as not something to be afraid of.
I should’ve just said it - LLMs are perfect for this use case.
By OP do you mean the parent?
I am the parent, and I am indeed down about it. :P
It's a fair fix today like I mentioned, but back when it happened it wasn't available, and anyway, as I mentioned it shouldn't have been necessary.
