The SaaS version has a short video demonstrating the UX: https://ninchi.ai

Built this back in March because of fears my vibe coding was getting away from me. Basically it just analyzes PRs and asks a question to the developer about them to verify understa…

He's speaking facts. I have had the same concern about excessive cognitive offloading. As others have noted in the comments, AI tools when used correctly, can actually make us smar…

Saved. Very useful. Normally I just dig around the Github UI to see what I can glean from contributor graphs and issues but these git commands are a pretty elegant solution as well…

Anecdotally I can say this is true both in education and software development. The diversity of approaches and writing styles among junior developers used to be fun to observe and …

Congratulations on the launch! Will definitely test this out.

Forked. Very cool. I appreciate the simplicity and documentation.

I’ve been noticing something over the past few months working with engineering teams. With tools like Cursor / Claude, it’s become very easy to ship code quickly — which is great —…

This is super cool. Wish I had this back in my sysadmin days.

I think there is a meaningful distinction here. It's true that writing code has never been the sole work of a software engineer. However there is a qualitative difference between a…
