From 57 bugs to 1, thanks to Seer

A developer shares how they reduced a 57-bug backlog down to 1 by combining Sentry's Seer AI with cloud coding agents like Cursor. The post categorizes bugs into three tiers: 'Friendly' bugs that Seer auto-fixes with PRs, 'Grumpy' bugs that need Seer's root cause analysis handed off to a cloud agent with a real dev environment, and 'Punk' bugs tied to production data or third-party services that still require human involvement. Setup instructions are provided for each tier, including Seer automation settings, Cursor Agent integration, and the Sentry MCP server for interactive investigation. The one remaining unfixed bug involves a complex MSAL auth token refresh timing issue that's too risky and hard to reproduce automatically.
