How I Built an AI Code Agent That Actually Reads Your Repo Before Writing Code

After months of building in silence, I just launched Zone - an AI code agent for developers. Here's the thing: I didn't build it to replace developers. I built it because I was tired of spending 20 minutes on tasks I already knew the answer to. The Problem Every developer has done this a thousand times: Add input validation to 5 endpoints Write the same try-catch error handling pattern Scaffold test files that follow existing conventions Create a SQL migration for a new table You know the code. You could write it with your eyes closed. But it still takes time. And it's boring.
