Hacker News Comment Review
The one comment so far sidesteps the tool itself and opens a broader debate about AI-assisted eng teams: maximizing shipping velocity vs. quality vs. complexity vs. skill atrophy, especially for juniors.
No technical critique, bug reports, or workflow comparisons have surfaced yet.
