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.”
“Eliminates 90% of server state management boilerplate. Caching, refetching, and mutations just work.”
“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.”
“Solved server state management so well that it changed how React apps are built. The devtools are excellent.”
“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.”
“TanStack Query's multi-framework support and the broader TanStack ecosystem are defining modern web data management.”
