I want to be honest with you. When I started this project I did not actually believe it would work.
Not in a humble way. I mean I genuinely thought the idea was too ambitious for one person to pull off with free API tiers and a laptop. Fully autonomous AI that reads a GitHub issue,understands a codebase, writes working code, runs tests, gets the code reviewed by another AI, and opens a pull request. No human in the loop. No clicking approve at any step.
But it works. And the first time it actually completed a full run I just sat there staring at the pull request on GitHub for a solid minute.
The moment that started it
I was reviewing a bug ticket at 1am. It was a simple fix. Like embarrassingly simple. Change a function name, update two tests. Fifteen minutes of actual work, forty minutes of context switching, finding the right file, remembering where the tests live, writing the PR description.
