Two days ago, I submitted and had my first pull request merged to an open source project (Clawdbot) thanks to my AI assistant rei.
A short story: rei suddenly stopped responding in some Slack channels. So I asked it to help me troubleshoot.
We traced the issue: adding custom instructions in one Slack channel incorrectly stopped it from replying in all the others.
I considered reporting the issue in GitHub, but then I thought, "Well... what if we just try to fix it ourselves, and submit a PR?"
So we did. We cloned the codebase, found the issue, wrote the fix, added tests. I asked it to code review its own fix. The AI debugged itself, then reviewed its own work, and then helped me submit the PR.
Hard to accurately describe the unlock this has enabled for me.
Technically, it's just an LLM call, and technically, I could have done this before.
However there is something different about this new model of "co-working with AI that has context on you and what you're doing" that just clicks.
You just described a GitHub feature
First those are completely different sentiments. One is a feature built into the product in question the other is a hodgepodge of shit.
Second, and most importantly, Dropbox may as well not exist anymore. It’s a dead end product without direction. Because, and this is true, it was barely better than the hodgepodge of shit AND they ruined that. Literally everything can do what Dropbox does and do it better now.
But keep posting that; it’s your one hit wonder.
