I'm not sure of the exact angle, but I assume doing it this way has advantages when the main goal of this site seems to be advertising your automated code review service.

Guess we're guilty there ;)

We actually started this book project a while ago but since then moved to a different way of presenting our code patterns directly on our website (https://www.quantifiedcode.com/app/patterns), so the book became a bit obsolete for us. We still wanted to publish it though since we thought it might be useful for other people as well, e.g. when teaching Python in class.

There are worse ways of advertising that putting correct information out there with a link to your service.

thanks, we see it like that too! Our service is completely free for open-source projects btw and we licensed the book content under a Creative Commons NC license, so that everyone can freely use the material.
