I’ll be honest this sounds like something that could be completely automated without AI. Wouldn’t a simple shell script accomplish this? Merge, push tag, deploy release with tag. I’m really not sure why AI is useful here at all but maybe I’m missing something?

Using a script there won't make the news headline. It's an ad for their product - a chat bot

Why would you make AI do this when you can just do it with an api call or git.

Does the author not know that there is a chance that it won't actuall list ALL PRs just because he put that in all caps?

we have lost our collective minds that this person is proudly publishing this stupidity to the world. i hate this so much.

can we pls ban these coders from the industry :(

Why do your releases involve non negligible manual work?

If I were a customer, I would be concerned by this statement. Having an amateurish deployment strategy is one thing, but your release cadence implies low confidence and quality issues.

I mean, it's cute, but how the heck this is this an actual solution.

This is basic automation and a pretty weird deployment process that could literally be a proper ci/cd pipeline.

I think the only main "benefit" here is auto-documentation. I have for example been pretty impressed when doing coding with Claude Code of how it creates the git commits.

I've just been testing it out having it create a whole application by itself so I can understand how well it works and what its limiations are with Sonnet 4. So far it is pretty impressive but also limited in context retention/retrieval.

headline for being stupid?

i guess no such thing as bad publicity
