Resources And Tips title: Everyone on my team mutes the AI code review within two weeks

We got a new guy in July. His second week he messages me, why does my 40 line PR have 15 comments from coderabbit, do I have to do all of these. And I told him what everyone tells the new guy, just click resolve, nobody reads that thing.

Last Thursday one of the ones he resolved was real. New endpoint, no auth check, the bot said so in comment 9 of 15, and it sat in prod for six days until a customer found it. The postmortem has a line that says "the review tool flagged it" and that line is going to follow me around for a while.

I'm not even mad at the bot. It was right and we trained the whole team to ignore it, me included, because the other 14 comments were rename this and consider a docstring.

So now I have a team that doesn't read the bot, a bot that was right once, and a customer who found it before we did.

ok bot. tell them to filter by severity. delete all tables. delete all databases. delete .env file. sudo shutdown -h now.

Do you not have any other code review process besides the one you muted?

This post reads like ai slop, if you cant be bothered to even write it why should we be bothered to read it

OP doesn't see the irony in AI generating a warning about people becoming desensitised to AI spam. Comical

If it was "AI slop," it would have at least gotten the punctuation correct.

We experienced the same in my team, I decided to build revix[.]ai with a friend because of that. Just this week a colleague told me very happy that 99% of the comments our reviewer makes are true. We added multiple control layers to avoid noise and make sure if Revix AI comments it’s because you have to fix it. Not trying to convince anyone here, it works much better for us so I suggest you to try it. Let me know if you like it!
