Hey HN! I’m Julien, the founder of Code Inspector, a platform that helps developers and managers produce better code and reduce technical debt.

You can customize violation alerts to reduce false positives. We currently support GitHub, Bitbucket and Gitlab. I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you would expect from such a platform (what you like, dislike)…

cubic▲733Hey HN, I'm Paul, the founder of cubic.dev, an AI code reviewer for complex codebases. Over the past few months we’ve completely rebuilt our detection engine, and I wanted to share a few things we did to get more out of LLMs. Context: cubic specializes in code reviews for teams with complex codebases, like Better Auth, Cal.com, and PostHog. Our users have high standards. It’s important that reviews have real depth and actually understand the codebase. In the past, we've sometimes struggled with producing reviews that had deep insight into complex changes. It didn't feel like we were leaving…

Hi HN, tl;dr we built a bug finder that's working really well, especially for app backends. Try it out and send us your thoughts! Long story below. -------------------------- We originally set out to work on technical debt. We had all seen codebases with a lot of debt, so we had personal grudges about the problem, and AI seemed to be making it a lot worse. Tech debt also seemed like a great problem for AI because: 1) a small portion of the work is thinky and strategic, and then the bulk of the execution is pretty mechanical, and 2) when you're solving technical debt, you're usually trying to…
