Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
