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.”
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“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.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“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.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
