i made a council of advisors to help me code. as a self taught dev, ive been heavily reliant on ai for the past two years. found myself often prompting claude to take on different personalities, so i built a web app. it's great for the step before telling cursor what to do and reviewing prs once theyre ready. PLEASE DON"T NUKE MY APY KEY. ty

This looks really interesting — I can see how it’d be useful for building my applications. How does it compare to using Claude directly?

much better, Claude returns 1 answer with 1 perspective, my council returns 5. so if i have a problem i can run the council through it and move forward with whichever solution i think is best. sometimes its ship fast (levels / sahil) and sometimes its more detailed like torvald

this is really cool, how did you decide on those 6 default CTO advisors

Thanks, I just wanted different philosophies on shipping code: - If you're stuck on something hard, Peter would say "ship the hecky version tomorrow". - Linus would want proper code review first. - Carmack would rewrite your algorithm and find some clever way to do it with after components.

Basically covered the main approaches: ship fast and iterate. - Peter Sahil optimizes for performance that's Carmack. - Build for scale through process Linus. - Elegant hardware solutions Woz - the modern ML approach with Karpathy.
