I love how it took you very short to implement...the wrong thing.

LOL! Good point, my friend.

Claude Code just added support for HTML to Markdown. Seems to work?

In any case, not following the point you're trying to make.

LLMs are pretty good at greenfield projects and especially if they are tasked with writing something with a lot of examples in the training data. This approach can be used to solve the problem of supply-chain attacks with the downside being that the code might not be as well written and feature complete as a third-party package.

I use LLMs too, but don't share your opinion fully.

In less time than that, you could `git clone` the desired open source package, and text search & replace the author's name with your own.

And then still be subject to supply-chain attacks with all of the dependencies in whatever open source package you're cloning?

you are aware that the app you just wrote with Claude pulls in dependencies, yes?

Not for the parser, only for the demo server! And I guess the dev dependencies as well, but with a much smaller surface area. But yeah, I don't think a TypeScript compiler is within the scope of an LLM.
