I have written extensively about a new category of tools known as Code Alignment Assistants. Both Passenger and I are frustrated by the significant challenge of aligning developer efforts with business objectives. This often requires extensive reasoning, adherence to various agile methodologies, and a range of ceremonies—a process not all developers are comfortable with. Many of us entered the field of programming because we enjoy coding itself, not necessarily the additional processes that have become associated with it. I firmly believe that integrating an AI between the developer and their tasks can streamline this translation of business needs to developer actions, reducing the need for formal processes. I am so convinced of this idea’s potential that I have decided to establish a new organization to pursue it further.

It's FOSS tooling, it's not for profit and it's free, it will make your life better by taking all of the reasoning out of your work and replace it with plain English. Complex issue/tickets become as easy to follow as a conversation with your family.

Passenger org is now going to be keep the updates flying in.

Code Alignment Assistants are the future of your ceremonies, we already have co-pilot for your code but this is something different. Imagine going to work, developing, pointing an AI at an issue, and getting to work, as you code you get feedback about your choices versus the business requirements, scoring your efforts and how closely they address the business needs, a form of testing that once above a threshold will pass.
