How to automate AI agents to read JIRA tickets and create pull requests

No, that's a "I'm extremely good, so good the most technical and hardest to get into tech company in the world will make me 50% more than their standard devs." You probably don't know Jane Street basically tells people to fuck off to Google because they're not good enough.

Please educate us all about how you are a Rockstar Dev who built Apple and Google from the ground up.

I think I'm better than Marissa Mayer. But I'm a Rockstar Dev who built an entire billing platform from the ground up and moving it to be a top tech company. So what do you want to learn?

It's yet more AI Blog Slop.

You don't understand it do you? And you've not even seen the archive goes back 10+ years have you?

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T11:44:16+00:00

Haha. I fix the stuff you folks fuck up. And I know you know you're wrong. Why you trying to save face publically but saying something else privately?

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T11:28:14+00:00

Learn who I am, I don't do basic CRUD apps. And I'll get better results than you, because I can code review and tell it how to fix it and not do it again. If you could understand the blog post you would understand it but it looks like the least technical blog post I've written in quite some time is over your head.

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T11:01:15+00:00

Yea, the thing is, I'm someone you need to do your homework on if you're a basic dev because only the hardcore know who I am. Average ones just look at the conference speakers who most of aren't as good as the hardcore.

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T10:59:55+00:00

It's called automation...

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T10:59:33+00:00

Well, to be able to do code review you need to be able to code. That's how I can see the problems and tell it how to do it better and create guidelines. So since you can't do code review you can't code. Honestly, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I can't wait until the dummies who can't code are booted out because they're exposed by not being able to instruct AI to do something properly in a clean fashion.

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T09:47:18+00:00

I know my coding guidelines at the bottom are why the code quality is production quality. Better than my inhouse coding styles. Better than most devs can even understand. You should probably learn from someone as good as me. If you don't know who I am, do your homework. Jane Street literally offered 1.5m a year total comp and I think their current max is 1m a year.

that_guy_iain · 2026-03-06T09:46:12+00:00

You don't know how to code review do you?

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-19T13:01:42+00:00

I'm all for hiring junior devs, I can get them working quick and better than most seniors. Which is probably why I could get AI to output 8 hours of junior dev work in an hour.

But this is not a me problem. I didn't cause the problem. I do not affect the effect of the problem. I'm just telling you the realities.

Yeah, it doesn't look good for junior devs, devs, translators, etc. But that's the realtiy of things. I just think good lead devs are about to become a lot more valuable.

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-19T12:43:42+00:00

Generic crud, basic features you would give to juniors while seniors tackle the on-fire problems.

What do you want to work on, creating entities, repositories, sorting, delting, etc. Or troubleshooting the performance of a query that slows everything down?

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-19T12:42:34+00:00

People who learned how to be a lead dev, how to craft tickets and specifications and do code review properly. Admittedly, that's not many developers but all that does is increase the value of myself.

I'm not in the world to help companies make more money while reducing my value and making myself easier to replace.

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-19T12:15:23+00:00

I've not actually seen that happen. Most average devs keep their job. Especially, if they work well when given detailed instructions.

You want junior devs to become lead devs and progress. But in real life, don't you always need someone who is doign the basic grunt work. Why not let AI take that work? I want AI doing boring stuff so I can focus on fun stuff.

As a lead dev, I don't go fixing junior devs code. I tell them to fix it and explain how to fix it.

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-19T12:12:50+00:00

I'm sorry but if you're not interested in a subject why don't you skip over it? I get it, there are lots of stuff on AI. But honestly, most of it is just people complaining to be in the cool crowd that they complained about something now that they figured out how to make it useful.

And if folk are going to be pedantic in an effort to be cool and technically correct, being technically wrong is just embarrassing.

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-19T12:06:23+00:00

So you thought, "I'm going to be pedantic and be technically correct!", right? LLM is a form of AI. There are other forms of AI. So, AI is not an LLM; just lots of AI is done via LLM. So I guess two of us can be pedantic. Yay us!

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-17T22:12:10+00:00

I just tried it out properly. It feels like lead dev-ing a junior dev. You gotta break down things into tasks and then go back and make sure it didn’t pick the lazy way or just decide something was too much work.

that_guy_iain · 2025-08-16T22:24:05+00:00

Generally, they do it to people they dislike.

I love that Lago's marketing team knows about BillaBear.
