The best resource there is to not have them. They're fundamentally a waste of time. The best teams will self-organize and come to the right conclusions given vision, dare I say, leadership, from the top.
In theory, you don’t need 1:1s. In practice, if you don’t have them, some people will bottle up minor irritations until they become serious problems. 1:1s are a release valve for that. You can’t rely on everybody to proactively reach out when there’s a problem.

Part of being a good manager is being able to manage suboptimal teams. It sure would be nice to hand-wave away problems with “the best teams don’t do that”, but you aren’t always dealing with the happy path.
I agree. My experience is that regularly scheduled 1:1s without an agenda seem to turn into therapy sessions for a surprising amount of people. I like doing ad-hoc 1:1s with specific agendas though, such as pair programming or an architecture session for an issue an Engineer is starting to work on.
Well yes, but I personally would never submit a PRr I could use the excuse, "sorry, AI wrote those parts, that's why this PR has now bugs than usual".

I assume it uses no external services at all as it's supposed to be local first and "No Cloud" is basically the first thing you see when opening up the landing page.
Not to mention the second paragraph is "no more worries about SaaS services playing around with your data"
I can provide an API key, you can use their staging API that allows a few banks for free. That's what I do with a local script I wrote, I get my banks' balances once a week.
