Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Real-time UI without writing JavaScript. The BEAM VM handles millions of concurrent connections effortlessly.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“LiveView proves server-rendered real-time UI is viable. For CRUD apps with real-time needs, it eliminates the SPA.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Server-rendered real-time UI is the sleeper approach. LiveView, HTMX, and similar tools challenge SPA dominance.”
