Hey everyone!
As developers, we all run into things that slow us down—whether it’s repetitive tasks, debugging, or juggling too many tools.
If you could fix one thing in your workflow that would save you the most time, what would it be?
I’m asking because we’re working on Vitara.AI, a tool designed to help developers work faster by automating boring, repetitive stuff and making workflows smoother.
Your input could really help us make something that’s genuinely useful. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Honestly, meetings run my productivity. Something to help me refocus quicker would be a lifesaver.

For me, it’s definitely overthinking simple problems. I tend to overcomplicate solutions when a straightforward approach would work just fine. Sometimes I spend too much time trying to make everything perfect instead of focusing on getting things done efficiently. Learning to balance quality and speed is something I’m still working on!
@minkome1970 Thanks for sharing! I totally get that—overthinking can really slow things down. It’s such a common challenge, especially when we’re trying to deliver both quality and speed. We’re exploring ways to help with simplifying decision-making and streamlining workflows, so feedback like yours is super helpful. Appreciate you sharing this insight!
Reading through messy, outdated code slows me down so much. Could Vitara help make sense of that.
@curtis_j_sanders Thanks for sharing that! Messy, outdated code is definitely a huge time sink. Vitara.AI could help by analyzing the codebase, identifying issues, and even suggesting improvements or refactoring ideas. We’re aiming to make it easier to clean up and navigate through such code.
I dread writing documentation, it feels like I'm repeating myself. Automation there would make a huge difference.
@peyton_walsh Yes, it is already on priority and it should be there in first or second release.
