      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      do the people getting bent out of shape over this, despite apparently having no clue what it is or does, also fly into a vicious rage over, idk, spam filters? i must have missed the seminar on differentiating Good Linear Algebra from Bad Linear Algebra

      We hear the concerns about AI. Our goal is to use this technology to give people greater control, not to generate content. Attie uses AI to help you create custom feeds without having to know how to code.
