Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
