A label on an issue triggers an implementation session in an isolated git worktree; a failed CI run triggers a fix session; a review comment triggers a revision session; and a second, independent AI reviewer gates every merge with a hard verdict. This article walks through how it works, the fail-closed guardrails that keep it from destroying my repos, the embarrassing bugs (including a garbage collector that never collected anything for weeks), and the uncomfortable questions it raises about what "being a developer" now means. Written, fittingly, with the help of the system it describes. Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT
