> Now we are considering scrapping it

Turns out, it was probably good that nobody spent time reviewing it.

> Feedback helps, right. But if you've got a problem where a simple, contained feedback loop isn't that easy to build, the only source of feedback is yourself. And that's when you are exposed to the stupidity of current AI models.

That's exactly the point. Modern coding agents aren't smart software engineers per se; they're very very good goal-seekers whose unit of work is code. They need automatable feedback loops.

Thanks Mahmoud! Does the code review aspect of this demo resonate more with you than the authoring part?

Thanks! Getting all the possibly-relevant related code isn't too hard; the hard part is filtering down to what's relevant. So I think specific use cases (e.g. "how do I get from a known entry point to some method/property/etc") is gonna be key.
