I want it to be lean - it should work with YOU. It works with your IDE, it works with your issue tracker, it doesn't try to change how you work, it just makes it easy to provide feedback and iterate on the output.

Just some years ago we, software developers, were fighting holywars on React vs. Vue vs. Angular, JavaScript vs TypeScript, Chrome vs Firefox and countless others. I can't say the battles have died out, but nothing, in my opinion, compares to the epic confrontation of AI vs no-AI camps.
On one side of the fence we have people who claim to be the evolution, intentionally atrophying their ability to produce code by hand and using their AI provider bills as a measuring stick. On the other, we have people who deny AI advancements and brand anyone using LLMs a heretic. This article is for neither. It is for the folks in between, who, just like me, are trying to find a footing in the new reality.
And I think Tomasz Tomczyk, creator of Crit, has a good amount of insight to share on the matter.
