Public story · 2026-02-27 · source-backed
Max Woolf's detailed conversion narrative is the most data-rich skeptic-to-convert case study published. Testing progressively harder projects culminating in porting scikit-learn to Rust achieved extraordinary benchmarks (HDBSCAN 23-100x faster, GBDT 24-42x faster than XGBoost). His critical enabler: AGENTS.md instruction files that establish code quality standards and project-specific rules. Validates Karpathy's "maximally forkable repo" and Willison's "hoard things you know how to do."
