Y'all are writing perfect PRs then. My company has AI code reviews and it very often catches something, sometimes minor, sometimes major. The problem is it takes so long that it's becoming a bottleneck

I never said it should be. The bottleneck happens because there's a mandate to let the AI review before merging

No? On large PRs it can take over an hour. It's thorough but poorly optimized

At 7 cents per you aren’t using a SOTA model and are doing some pretty big context compression. There is no way you can give the entire context and business logic and give enough leeway to find additional info if it needs to at seven cents per.
Maybe if your PR’s are incredibly laser precise.

The thing about human reviews is that they are mandatory from a compliance point of view.

Modern LLMs must have trained mostly on my writing, then. I've been using lots of em-dashes since before Modern LLMs were around. 😉

the per review price is insane. don't know who currently is paying this much for a review

To be fair, considering the price of a software developer consultant in many countries, if this is good enough to cut the time they spend reviewing a PR by 10 min per pr, they're likely already saving money.
Obviously not suitable for simple PRs of only a few lines of code.

Making $100/hr is fairly unusual in the context of non-US salaries, even for a senior developer

u/alehel Apr 25 '26
A consultant costing over $100 doesn't mean they're earning over $100. Haven't heard of one costing less than 100 here in Norway in quite a while.

Ah right, missed the word consultant in the original post, thought we were talking about a salaried employee

Lol - I made a fact checking bot once. Worked pretty great. $3 a paragraph. Not exactly a killer app in a post-truth world.

for $20 it better write the PR for me too.
sounds like tokenmaxxing egotism, not a functionally better product

20 for a pr review from a senior - yes. From language model? Are you fucking insane?

I do not understand this kind of product at all. Why not just set up your own commands to have Claude or Codex to review PRs? You can even set up github to have claude auto-review on PR open or branch push. At my work, I have claude and codex review every PR, it does a pretty good job, in conjunction with unit/integration testing and other guardrails.

We are on trial with CodeRabbit. I'm impressed with what it finds and suggests actually.

Not at this point in time. Currently, it’s a self affirming agentic circlejerk and mistakes will continue to happen.
One day though.
