Reviewer scorecard
“This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
