I think tools like this are needed and will become standard in the near future.

However, the backend demo report seems longer and more complex than just reading the code. I’m trying to build something similar as well, and no one has quite nailed this yet.

The risk map / assisted review needs to be succinct and information dense, to guide your attention. My current philosophy is that we need to be annotating code, not replacing the entire code review interface with a bunch of text.

Looked at the backend demo, and the first lines suggested to look at were importing things. Exactly what I really don't need to be reviewing

It suggested based on the files most used (through graph dependency), for this reason it appears as a important file (as if it breaks, it can break several places in your codebase), but that being said, you can add some files to be ignored (if you have special files, like consts or i18n)

why is the only comment by the OP flagged and dead? Is it because they were supposed to include that data in the description text rather than a comment, was it flagged as AI generated, or..?

Trying to understand why the poster's own comment was flagged and killed but the original article remains up.

AI-edited or -generated comments are disallowed by HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated. I don't think any such restriction exists for submissions themselves, so that's my guess as to why the comment but not the submission has been flagged to death.

I'm not sure either. The comments don't look wrong to me.

You can vouch for it, if you view the comment by clicking the time since posted a “vouch” option appears. I did it. I’ve noticed this happening more and more on here for show HN posts especially. I’m not sure if it’s like some sort of troll gang or what…

I like the concept, a risk map could be useful in some circumstances but I absolutely hate the UI design; it reeks of AI with no human thought or care put into it.

▲ericholiveira a few seconds ago | parent [-]

Thats is surely true... i did it with AI and i do lack design skills

Or you could, you know, read the changes your approving

Sire, wouldst thou perchance elaborate upon this ancient, forgotten technique, long buried in the mists of antiquity and shrouded in mysterious lore?
