Exactly! Forget syntax highlighting, that's the real problem to be solved! (gitcasso is very far from achieving that rn)

Fair point. I published an example which was easy to follow rather than an example which showed off the tooling at its "max strength". I recorded a different take where I added support for issues being opened within a GitHub Project. The scraping there is a lot more complex, fixing one case tends to break another, and the AI can solve it in pretty much the same time, but the video felt too confusing to bundle with the launch.

> any developer familiar with the codebase

Refined GitHub (a popular github browser extension) has long rejected syntax highlighting for being too hard to maintain. So part of the goal here is to automate that maintenance - hopefully there won't even be a developer who is currently familiar with the codebase pretty soon. The slowest part by far is capturing the snapshots in the first place, which could/ought be automated.

Thanks imiric! And thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
