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.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“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.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“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.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
