My feedback: Overall this is almost a magical idea but it has dangerous problems still. I was able to refactor and generate code very nicely for a few things. It can go and check data structures and adjust code for that. However, at one point i asked it to modify a function that was in a separate .js file, at which point it happily went and deleted the whole content of my *main.js* file and overwrote it with that function. Asked if it can revert this change ASAP it said nope, nothing is stored upon deployment so your whole main code is now gone. Fortunately these were only imports of functions from other files but imagine if it was something long and important. I do not believe it's as simple as saying well you should have had it on local git. Other problem is that it will hang sometimes for a few minutes doing nothing... That's stressful as at this point i don't know what will happen if it errors out or times out or something in the middle of a series of actions. So: idea - great but it should have the ability to revert its changes Git or not I'm not using it until this is safer, even though I do think it's brilliant in itself.

Okay this genuinely feels powerful
Most AI coding tools stop at giving snippets, but letting the agent actually interact with deployments, repos and backend infrastructure makes it feel way more practical for real development workflows.

I can honestly see this being super helpful during hackathons or MVP building where setting up backend + DevOps eats so much time. Really curious how well it handles debugging when projects start becoming large and messy though.

An agent that can read deployment logs, generate a fix, and re-deploy without you touching the console is genuinely useful for solo founders who don't want a DevOps background. Would be interested to know how it handles rollback decisions, does the agent revert autonomously on failure or pause and ask?
