That's worth testing for sure. This first version was mostly built against routine feature updates, typically spread out over several PR's. I found it was more likely agents missed context by ONLY sticking with a single PR vs seeking out related merges in a similar timeframe.

I designed the evals to filter out noisy stuff (we don't need to hear about the play by play of tiny bugfixes), and most of that skill should carry over to a monolithic refactor.

Going to test further on the next iteration, thanks!

As much as I love capitalism, there's a few differences as you go up in tiers beyond just room limits. Today the most notable is the ability to manage more than one office location. In time it will will expand since certain things (i.e. SAML, high resolution analytics, audit logs) aren't needed by the typical 5 conference room company. The more stuff you're managing, the more complex the relationships become -- not just an N + 1 operation.

It's generally not a dealbreaker for most offices. With external battery packs you can get extra days, or you could just get a free standing mount that moves closer to a nearby outlet. Most commercial buildings require power every 8 feet or so on walls, so you're rarely in a power desert.

Couple perspectives you might find interesting (I say this having to learn the lay of the land over the past year myself):

Most offices are designed with 1 conference room per 10-20 employees. If you have 15 conference rooms you probably have well over 100 employees and many millions in payroll. Those people presumably have many meetings, and the cost of not being able to get their job done is measurable.

Conference rooms can be between 200-300 sq feet, so if you have a 15 of them you're looking at several thousand sq ft on your lease. Depending on where you are in the world, that's probably around $10K/month or so in real estate.

The effective rate is about $17/month/room, which in most cases is tiny compared to the cost of mismanaging office space and productive time above.
