Ill Robyn

Throughput per developer is up 33.7%. Median time in code review is up 441.5%. If you're a solo maker, you are the review queue and you quietly stopped showing up for the shift.

There's a report that came out this spring that I keep coming back to, and I don't think it landed properly with makers because it's written for engineering leaders at big companies. Faros AI published "The Acceleration Whiplash" in April two years of telemetry from 22,000 developers across more than 4,000 teams. Not a survey about how developers feel. Actual measurement of what came out the other end.

I'm curious: how do you evaluate and compare proxy providers?

Inside the ScrapeOps Proxy Aggregator, we've integrated around 50 proxy providers into a single tool. We continuously test and benchmark them to determine which providers offer the best performance at the lowest cost for different target websites.

The main performance metric we've settled on is average success latency:

How quickly does a provider return a successful response?

The gap most auto-fix tools have

They tell you the bug is fixed. They don't show you. Our rule has always been: make the bug happen on real code, apply the fix, show it stops happening. The gap was we could only do that for bugs we'd scripted in advance. Anything unusual and the honest answer was "found it, fixed it, can't prove this one."

What we built

We taught FetchSandbox to write the reproduction itself, no pre-scripted test required.
