  • Multi-currency pricing and timezone conversion separated into services
  • 20-minute discussion improved critical thinking and system design

I built a tool that roasts your code with regex — no AI involved

The problem In 2026, devs spend 11.4 hours a week reviewing AI-generated code — more time than they spend writing it. We're burning cycles fixing bugs our own AI tools wrote.
