WHEN IT'S THE MAINTAINER WHO'S AI-PILLED

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A well-supervised agent can offer dramatic speedups when paired with someone who cares about software, cares about the craft, and has specific goals they want to achieve. They can be used to significantly speed up the PR process. Agents can turn open issues into prompts, generate solutions, edit the output to meet standards for mergeability, and then commit as soon as it's ready, all on their own. This means issues can be fixed just hours after being identified.
