### AI overview

The author describes using AI and Claude to migrate a design system from Bootstrap to Tailwind, clean up HTML and JavaScript, and rewrite functional code. The article argues that LLMs handle mechanical translation well but struggle with conceptual design decisions and fine UI details, making cleanup substantially more time-consuming than code generation.

Spaceship first, cleanup second. Start with the ending then work your way back to something useful.

### AI overview

The GitHub post explains how stacked pull requests can decompose large AI-generated implementations into smaller, ordered changes that are easier to review and maintain. It contrasts this approach with a single large pull request and manually maintained chains of changes.

### Source excerpt

Instead of one huge, un-reviewable pull request, teach coding agents to decompose work into a clean, ordered stack with GitHub stacked pull requests. The post Turn one giant AI-generated pull request to a reviewable stack appeared first on The GitHub Blog.

### AI overview

An opinion piece argues that stacked pull requests help teams work on larger or dependent changes without creating oversized, difficult-to-review pull requests. It presents small, independent, testable pull requests as units of work that can be reviewed and merged incrementally.

### Source excerpt

How fast you do code review is how fast you do everything. Your PR queue is the leading indicator of team velocity. Stacked PRs can help.
