In this YouTube episode, I walk through Gitcasso - a browser extension that fixes the messy parts of GitHub comments.
🎨 Syntax highlighting for Markdown comments
🧭 Quick navigation between open PRs and issues
💾 Optional draft recovery (no more lost work!)
Then we go under the hood: how Gitcasso was built using Claude Code, Playwright, and AI-assisted coding. You’ll see how snapshot testing makes it easy to develop against a large corpus of usecases, and how slash commands can make the entire development process nearly automatic.

10:20 development system design
I think our job as software developers now is to design and describe a camera that captures the problem domain, and then design and describe a camera that captures the output of your solution. Once you’ve described these systems of lenses, mirrors, and cameras; AI can build them for you. And when you have this ability to image the problem and the behavior of your solution, then AI can build a solution or help you build a solution really effectively. And you can you can oversee it easier because you have these cameras to work with. (edited to replace “pipe” with the better concept of “camera”)
