You're not wasting your time; LLMs have written plenty of compilers. Compilers are easy for LLMs to work on, because their level of verifiability is very high. That is, an LLM can easily determine whether what a compiler is doing is correct or incorrect.

Automated verifiability goes down once a software project incorporates things like:

- Concurrency

- Networking / distributed systems

- Visuals / animations

- Domain knowledge (e.g. banking, finance)
