The only code review agent I have ever seen be even remotely good is just Codex xhigh. All the review services (and I've seen at least a dozen at this point) suck so bad that I'm not sure how they make any money at all.
@nateberkopec We have the built in Copilot review, which spews nonsense ~75% of the time but in this specific context (code review) its easy enough to ignore the noise for the value in the few comments left. We're about to migrate to Claude though, which I'm hoping is an improvement.
@tsvallender @nateberkopec I’d quit if 3/4 of comments on my PR were useless. And you’re paying for it. Why are you doing it to yourself?
@tsvallender @nateberkopec @pointlessone completely agree. I came here to say “do you hear yourself?”. This sounds like Stockholm syndrome.
@zenspider @tsvallender @pointlessone it's not an uncommon opinion/situation FWIW among my client base. Drives me absolutely insane, even as an LLM-augmentation booster myself
@nateberkopec @zenspider @pointlessone I really don’t see why. Objectively, it’s prevented bugs shipping and cut-down on overall review time by catching some issues before a human review. The cost is a minute or two of the author’s time to scan the comments and quickly resolve the ones that aren’t helpful. I’m not saying it’s perfect, I am saying it has value _in this context_.

@nateberkopec @pointlessone @tsvallender were you *that “guy”* on the group project who did zero work, didn’t reveal that until the night before it was due, and then got upset that people were mad at how little you did?

Otherwise this really sounds like Stockholm syndrome. You’re totally fine with being forcibly paired with an F- student and having to spend your time and effort checking their work instead of being an A student on your own?

@nateberkopec @pointlessone @tsvallender (I don’t know how well that translates to UK. Sorry)
@zenspider @nateberkopec @pointlessone Translates fine, but it’s a false analogy. If the F- student made my work better and it took me next to no time to check their work, then that sounds fine. As for your first point, that feels more just like a random insult 🤷
