DevSpark

DevSpark is an automated, brutal AI Tech Lead designed to disrupt the "lazy copy-paste" habit common among modern developers. Traditional AI assistants provide instant answers, causing engineers to blindly paste code solutions without actively learning from their mistakes. DevSpark fixes this flawed behavior loop with an intentional friction mechanism called the Active Reflection Lock. When a developer submits messy, insecure, or legacy code, our backend leverages IBM watsonx.ai foundational models to analyze the input for security vulnerabilities, architectural anti-patterns, and syntactic issues. The AI generates a humorous yet brutally honest code review alongside a production-ready, optimized enterprise refactor. Instead of serving the solution immediately, the frontend—built using the flat, strict guidelines of the IBM Carbon Design System—renders the refactored code block under a secure backdrop-blur layer. The user is forced to read through the structured, line-by-line critiques. Clicking the "I Understand My Mistakes → Unlock Code" button is the single mechanism to clear the overlay, forcing active reflection before code consumption.
