For most software developers, every day starts with where the last one left off. Trawling through the backlog of issues on GitHub you didn’t deal with the day before, you're triaging which ones you can fix quickly, which will take more time, and which ones you really don’t know what to do with yet. You might have 30 issues in your backlog and know you only have time to tackle 10. It can feel like a Sisyphean task and it’s easy to get burned out if not managed properly.
But what if there were tools that could make finding bugs, suggesting fixes, and testing those ideas as easy as submitting an issue on GitHub?
