It is. The paper has this paragraph where autodev requires rules for it's setup.
> The user initiates the process by configuring rules and actions through yaml files. These files define the available commands (actions) that AI agents can perform. Users can leverage default settings or fine-grained permissions by enabling/disabling specific commands, tailoring AutoDev to their specific needs. This configuration step allows for precise control over the AI agents’ capabilities. At this stage the user can define the number and behavior of the AI agents, assigning specific responsibilities, permissions, and available actions. For example, the user could define a ”Developer” agent and a ”Reviewer” agent, that collaboratively work towards an objective.
Their example is very simple as well, and the code generated does not cover the usecase where the sentence might have `I'm` or `I've`. I feel that the tool would generate a template with missing logic and then the overhead falls on the developer to figure it out and then add them (since this entire process is automated).
The original comment is just farming upvotes from the `AI hype` people on HN. It's become quite common with gangs of users upvoting each other and downvoting any other narrative that does not fit into their `AI` world.

It seem more like setting up a factory using a LLM and then making it generate other factories.
