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.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“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.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“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.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
