The value prop is to hire fewer junior devs or even replace them. They don't mean to help junior devs.
Also, I'm not sure if you'd enjoy writing code for those "grunt work". I'd love PRs that I can easily check correctness for and would get some small job done.
- williamzeng0 3y agoSweep is targeted towards senior devs that can do two things. 1. review code quickly 2. articulate requirements well Also, here's another example of "grunt work". Sweep added a banner to our landing page, and I didn't touch my IDE at all. https://github.com/sweepai/landing-page/pull/226 https://github.com/sweepai/landing-page/pull/226
- KnobbleMcKnees 3y agoI would honestly just ignore that feedback. It's needlessly reductive and oxymoronic (coding is fun! But give juniors boring grunt work)

- sidlls 3y agoHis point wasn’t about whether the “grunt work” is enjoyable or not, but that it is necessary work for juniors to do in order to gain experience. I’m not sure. If these AI tools become sophisticated enough it might be better experience to learn how to use them instead of doing the underlying work. Career-wise anyway.
- williamzeng0 3y agoIt's necessary for sure, but we want to let junior devs choose to do the more interesting work. We're also trying to make it easy to use Sweep. One outcome is an entirely simulated teammate, which is part of what we're doing with allowing you to review Sweep's PR
