Sentry's Slack AI intern out-commits every human and turns tweets into blog PRs
zeeg · x · 2026-11-12
Sentry CTO David Cramer describes "Junior," the company's Slack-enabled AI intern, which now has more commits attributed to it than any single human contributor — a self-described "Slopware Factory." A screenshot shows the full workflow: asked in Slack whether to publish his article, Junior opens PR #5012 within minutes and reports its editorial decisions — keeping typos verbatim, preserving all formatting and 6 screenshots, picking an unused brand-library hero image, cutting a duplicate leftover paragraph from the X draft, and filing it under Engineering with a date. The thesis: it's a state-of-the-art software factory, but it doesn't behave like you'd think.
