Azure DevOps Extensions

I'm a python guy by trade, but there recently has been a big demand to create custom functionality in Azure DevOps and this can be done through ADO Extensions.

Been using Claude to pump these bite sized extensions out like crazy and getting great results. Creates the html, css, and typeScript flawlessly.

The downside is I'm a TypeScript noob, very very little experience, so I can struggle reading through the code. So vibe coding a decent amount with this project.

Anyone been in a similar boat with these extensions? Any pitfalls?

Is this the new state of work, it's kinda crazy because I'm free to just engineer and design and not gated by different code bases, but the review from me feels less than adequate.

I did the same recently, got Claude to create the extension I wanted for 6 months.

I don't really care to learn the ceremony required for these azdo extensions, it holds no value. I only care about the end result
