Reviewer scorecard
“This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
