Dev: AI makes MREs trivial, so he opens PRs with repros instead of issues
remilouf · x · 2026-09-26
Developer remilouf shares a workflow shift: AI makes crafting minimal reproducible examples (MREs) or one-command prototypes so easy that they beat long written explanations. He now opens PRs containing MREs far more often than filing issues, and calls on GitHub to adapt to this "PR as communication" pattern. In a follow-up he notes teams waste far more time misunderstanding each other than writing code, and runnable prototypes cut that cost dramatically.
