Episode Highlights
Mentorship
introduces an AI system designed to emulate tech leads, offering guidance and design reviews. This AI acts as a pair programmer, providing feedback and mentorship similar to experienced engineers in large companies 1. Aiswarya explains that the AI's full system awareness allows it to understand code changes and suggest solutions based on historical data 2.
We want a person that has an AI that actually has this full system awareness.

Issue Resolution
The AI tools developed by assist in identifying and resolving code issues by leveraging historical data. These tools enable engineers to search for similar issues or pull requests, facilitating efficient problem-solving 1. Aiswarya highlights the AI's ability to provide insights into fault localization and code repair, enhancing the debugging process 3.
You can also search where else in the code is most relevant, but the API that actually powers this has full awareness of all the issues and PRs.
