I've dubbed my loop of this as 'sicko mode' at work as I've become a bit obsessed with automating everything little thing in my flow, so I can focus on just features and bugs. It feels like a game to me and I enjoy it a lot.

#42can it read code review comments? I've been finding that having claude write code but letting codex review PRs is a productive workflow, claude code is capable of reading the feedback left in comments and is pretty good at following the advice.

Have you tried GitHub Copilot? I've been trying it out directly in my PRs like you suggest. Works pretty well sometimes.

I find coding agents can produce very high quality tests if and only if you give them detailed guidance and good starting examples. Ask a coding agent to build tests for a project that has none and you're likely to get all sorts of messy mocks and tests that exercise internals when really you want them to exercise the top level public API of the project. Give them just a few starting examples that demonstrate how to…
> I find coding agents can produce very high quality tests if and only if you give them detailed guidance and good starting examples. I find this to be true for all AI coding, period. When I have the problem fully solved in my head, and I write the instructions to explicitly and fully describe my solution, the code that is generated works remarkably well.

Yes, but the act of writing code is an important part of figuring out what you need. So I’m left wondering how much of a prefect the AI can actually help with.
To be clear I do use AI for some code gen. But I try to use it less than I see others use it.

Eh, I think my decades of experience writing my own code was necessary for me to develop the skills to be able to precisely tell the AI what to build, but I don't think I need to (always) write new code to know how to know what I need.
Now, if the thing I am building requires a technology I am not familiar with, I will spend some time reading and writing some simple test code to learn how it works, but once I understand it I can then let the AI build from scratch.
Of course, this does rely on the fact that I have years of coding experience that came prior to AI, and I do wonder how new coders can do it without putting in the work to learn how to build working software without AI before using AI.

I find that ChatGPT’s Codex reviews - which can also be set up to happen automatically on all PRs - seem smarter than Copilot’s, and make fewer mistakes. But these things change fast, maybe Copilot caught up and I didn’t notice

No, you're right. It was a pretty collaborative effort with me and Claude!
FYI, you're missing two patterns that allow the `--key=value` admirers and the `-alltheshortopsinasinglestring` spacebar savers among us to be happy (for the otherwise excellent options parsing code). shopt -s extglob case "$1" # Flag support - allow -xyz z-takes-params -@(a|b|c)*) _flag=${1:1:1}; _rest=${1:2}; shift; set -- "-$_flag" "-$_rest" "$@";; # Param=Value support -?(-)*=*) _key=${1%%=*}; _value=${1#*=}; shi…

I’m letting Claude Code review the code as part of a gitlab CI job.
It adds inline comments (using curl and the http API, nightmare to get right as glab does not support this)
CC can also read the inline comments and creates fixes. Now thinking of adding an extra CI job that will address the review comments in a separate MR.

#50How does it handle questions asked by Claude?
It sends a flag that dangerously allows Claude to just do whatever it wants and only give us the final answer. It doesn't do the back-and-forth or ask questions.
Iteratively working is a MUST for more than trivial fixes. This continuous loop could work for trivial refactorings / maintenance tasks.
