Re:How I Fight AI Brain Fry by matltc on Monday November 09, 2026 @12:08PM (#50428358)
By far the skill I use the most is one I wrote called "resolve-review" from back in the 4.6 days. Just uses gh CLI and graphql to get inline comments, which I key with standard tags like nit/fixit. So during review, I open vscode so I can have an lsp and jump around refs more easily (only reason I still have vscode installed; frozen at v1.110.1 with ai completely disabled and I haven't got around to getting the same setup in neovim), leave comments, send review, then resolve review. I'm sure one could have hooks or scheduled tasks listening for this but it's good enough for me. Working on a thing to build a pipeline of such work, which I describe in a top-level comment.

I do not have any pressure to deliver anything (amateur), so I can only imagine how much it must suck for anyone on that hamster wheel given how much it bothers me. If anyone wants to work on something like this, drop me a line; I miss working with people.
