Reviewer scorecard
“At $500/mo it needs to replace at least 10 hours of developer time per month. In my testing, I spent more time reviewing and fixing its output than I saved. Not there yet.”
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“The marketing writes checks the product can't cash. 'Autonomous software engineer' implies reliability that doesn't exist. It's a talented intern that needs constant supervision.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“Devin is early but directionally correct. The autonomous agent approach will win eventually. Cognition has the best shot at getting there first. Invest in the future, not the present.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
