We just had a 'hack day' at my work - and I'd just like to mention a couple of experiences...

• First as a tech lead this was the first time in _ages_ I got to code solidly 'morning 'til night' and it was a RUSH :heart: _Loved_ it.
• Second; I used *'Code with me'* with my team-mate for about 2/3 the entire time and it was *awesome*; love how deeply that integrates with the IDE.  Big shout out to JB for 'Code with me', we gave it a special call out in the presentation and I'll be looking to trial it more frequently now for remote work scenarios.
• Third; I based our hack project config in *Amper* and it made it really quick to set up!  Granted it was a simple project and I still have misgivings about replacing Gradle with something Amper-like for our large projects; but for this, it _justWorked™_
The project was a JVM Desktop App with Compose for Desktop, to coordinate OpenAI, GitHub API's and local JGit/KGit usage to perform analyses on a PR and provide 'AI assistance' for larger code reviews; with a focus on helping human reviewers rather than replacing them.
