@arpit_bhayani yes ! The "you are absolutely right" statement given by the agent when it goes wrong, is actually an indication that its our prompts which were wrong/vague at the first place.

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@imarun_chauhan exactly ! A careless human review solely depending on AI would only give us 2 AM alerts 🙃

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

One thing I have noticed is, the code review AI does is good to catch an obvious bug but the code review that your senior teammate does is at a different level.

They will point out a very logical change in code design (for eg, promoting extendibility , structure etc) that AI simply wouldn't catch.

Hence my team follows the culture of AI review + human review , both non-negotiable. 🚀

@javarevisited no, as it will not guarantee backwads compatibility for clients already using it.

@xoaanya the idea , and strategic marketing

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

I remember having spent one whole day debugging failing tests. Getting the green check of "passed" had its own satisfaction in the pre AI era.

Now a single prompt and AI gets the tests passed. It is still satisfying, just differently 🚀

@TTrimoreau I think not just startup, but this may apply to even smallest of the features in an existing product - finding the right idea and keeping the users >>>> others , in terms of difficulty.

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@TTrimoreau + a strategic marketing.

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@devops_prashant + 1
I recently saw someone say on X, that AI is a multiplier, so if one is at zero , it will just multiply it. couldn't agree more with that.

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@smartnakamoura number of internal API calls the API is making.

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

"you are right" from a coding agent, is one line which can boost and destroy one's confidence in one go.

Boost because yes , I am right. 🤩
Destroy because probably the prompt wasn't clear enough the first time 😆

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@0xlelouch_ misconfig in my files due to which my local API was calling stage DB instead of local DB , and I was wondering why it doesn't update DB ://

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@GergelyOrosz While code reviews by AI do point out certain bugs, the suggestions in code design pointed out by peers is sometimes priceless ⚡️

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@thsottiaux that would be brutally honest 😁

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@rishikagupta__ Sometimes, honestly, I do miss that phase. It was slower, but had its own enriching experience. With AI as well, the experience is enriching , just that in a different direction.

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@dev_gen88926 "rate limited" 😅

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@Samaytwt one reason being that working on multiple repositories along with AI assistance seems much easier for me on cursor

@psomkarbuilds managing tokens while maintaining quality prompts for faster work :)

[Sona Jaiswal @sona_j19]

@jain_harshit because the PR still requires a human approval 😁
