Building a RAR compressor using LLMs: A 5-week reverse-engineering project

A developer documents their experience using LLMs (OpenAI Codex 5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7) to reverse-engineer the RAR compression format and build a RAR compressor from scratch. What would normally take 5 years of work was accomplished in 5 weeks of evenings and weekends, costing roughly £40 in subsidized tokens and producing 55k lines of code. The project pu
