That's pretty cool man, I've built something really similar.

Oh yeah, more of hacking agent lores...

Agreed that this looks very intention to me as well.

That's a really cool initiative. Would love to see more evaluation for the task of reviewing PRs.

Given that generating is only one piece of the process for production code.

I'm working on Mergi. The demand for reviewing PRs sky-rocket in the past months, and I got really tired of Github slowness so I created my own "native" fast and painless UI where everything is pre-loaded.

Also added a bunch of cool features like a Review Queue to keep track of everything (there are weeks I had to review 12 PRs) and some cool AI features.

Kinda agree with this. And your point is valid for most of the problems that we solve today as software engineers.

However, you cannot forget that there are problems where - all the knowledge of - AI don't help. Problems where letting AI do the work for you means putting more time and effort than doing yourself.

Problems where you need to be so precise in your prompt/spec that at that point you're coding in English. But English don't compile.

I like the idea of power tools vs hand tools. AI is a power tool, but that are times that the most pragmatic approach is using a hand tool.
