Pull Request Reviewed by LLM

This year I’ve reviewed more than 1000 code changes. Most of the time was spent catching obvious mistakes rather than debating complex design decisions. If we estimate ~10 minutes per review, that’s 160+ hours spent reviewing code in just one year. So I thought: could I get some of that time back using LLMs? That's why I spent the last few weekends building an LLM-based prereviewer that should take a first pass before the actual human reviewer. The results so far are promising: I estimate it can reduce the review time by 50%, which in my case would mean I save 80hours (~10 working days) per…

    Hey HN, Over the last year, I’ve reviewed more than 1000 code changes. Most of the time was spent catching obvious mistakes rather than debating complex design decisions. If we estimate ~10 minutes per review, that’s 160+ hours spent reviewing code in just one year. So I thought: could I get some of that time back using LLMs? That's why I spent the last few weekends building Presubmit.ai, an open-source AI reviewer that runs as a Github Action right when you open a Pull Request. The results so far are promising: I estimate it can reduce the review time by 50%, which in my case would mean I…

  • Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)Nov 2025 · github.com · ▲436

    I spent a few hours last weekend testing whether AI can replace code by executing directly. Built a contact manager where every HTTP request goes to an LLM with three tools: database (SQLite), webResponse (HTML&#x2F;JSON&#x2F;JS), and updateMemory (feedback). No routes, no controllers, no business logic. The AI designs schemas on first request, generates UIs from paths alone, and evolves based on natural language feedback. It works—forms submit, data persists, APIs return JSON—but it's catastrophically slow (30-60s per request), absurdly expensive ($0.05&#x2F;request), and has zero UI…

    Code reviews intimidated me, so I built a course on how to master them2022 · ▲13

    I’m excited to share Master the Code Review: forge a better process, give better reviews, write better code. It’s a video course with 4+ hours of content [1]. I’ve linked a 21-minute sample below [2]. 6 years ago, I began my software engineering career at Amazon Web Services. I struggled with Pull Requests. My authored PRs received many comments, sometimes 50+. They went through many revisions, sometimes 7+. I often shipped late. My reviews of other PRs were surface level and counterproductive. Long story short: I improved. Through trial, error and experience I learned how to be effective in…

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…
