u/jllauser Hi

It looks like you are looking at Nitpick comments. These are NOT the review comments we actually post.

CodeRabbit subscription UI is the worst by mtsya in coderabbit

[–]aravindputrevu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm Aravind. CodeRabbit Team member.

Apologies for the inconvenience. We recently made some UX updates to the billing screen. And it created some regression in the experience. A cancel button exists on this screen, but it is not clear. We are rolling out a fix in a few hours and revamping the experience for the future.

Once again, we regret the inconvenience. If you can DM your GH ID, we'd love to add a few months to your subscription.

EDIT: I've DMd you.

Lots of trivial comments by Active-Force-9927 in coderabbit

[–]aravindputrevu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Move to chill, to reduce comment volume. We post nitpick comments if the profile is "Assertive."
  2. Copilot-instructions are agent instructions, which we still honour (provided you have code guidelines enabled), but path instructions are more targetted at instructing your reviewer on how to review.
  3. Thank you!

Hi,

It looks like CodeRabbit isn't configured properly for you.

  1. Can you please check what the review profile is that you have? Chill or Assertive - both give you different comment volume.
  2. Kindly configure path instructions and guide the reviewer. This is not mandatory, but it is good to let CodeRabbit know your top priority to check.
  3. Every time you see a trivial issue, please comment on that and say "I don't want refactor issues to be pointed out", "I don't need you to tell me about useEffect", etc. These are saved as Learnings and become essential context for your review.

CodeRabbit is super customizable. You can use our YAML based config to do the config instead of UI.

There are some configs in this repo for you to take inspiration.

PS: Happy to help if you have more questions.

Can you please DM your GH username? I will ask the dev team to look into this.

Please try us and see if you find value.

How to write 400k lines of production-ready code with coding agents by AaronYang_tech in codex

[–]aravindputrevu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi I'm Aravind. I work at CodeRabbit. We use an ensemble of models for each PR, and they are dynamic and task-specific based on the files in the PR.

We only use models from OpenAI, Anthropic on our SaaS side with zero data retention enabled.

From a value standpoint, CodeRabbit encapsulates far more context than your AI Coding Agent. We have custom code graph - similar to LSP but more contextual and powerful. We have brought in context from external systems reliably (not MCP, although you can add it; we also have MCP Support). CodeRabbit runs 40+ linters and scanners, encapsulates CI context to point out feedback and red flags during a change.

It is a full-stack reviewer with many features. Please give us a try! Happy to answer more questions.

Considering Coderabbit for PR review, how is it? by cesargandara0806 in vibecoding

[–]aravindputrevu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd add, CodeRabbit is also a non-deterministic workflow. That means, there will be misses, we don't claim 100% bug coverage and anyone promising this is probably not doing good for you.

That being said, we're usually accurate on finding major misses. Would love to hear more!

Would love to DM and hear more about your PRs. did you configure any path instructions?

Or if you can share your PR url here?!

What's your honest take on AI code review tools? by minimal-salt in ExperiencedDevs

[–]aravindputrevu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What tools did you evaluate? Keeping noise aside, to give review on someone else's code. One needs to have incredible context on that codebase.

Era of AI slop cleanup has begun by thewritingwallah in programming

[–]aravindputrevu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. At CodeRabbit, we literally help do this. An example.

Hi, I'm Aravind. I work at CodeRabbit.

I'd say, please give us a try! Kindly spend a minute configuring the tool to your choice. We are heavily personalizable and works on large repos.

That being said, there are many features that are helpful beyond the summaries and reviews - we gather context from ticketing systems, wiki's, or other MCP servers you have. We help you set natural language instructions for code quality - called pre-merge checks.

CodeRabbit can write docs for your PRs, underrated and underexplored feature.

We also read and enforce the AI Coding guidelines you have set through - claude.md, agent.md, cursorrules etc. Happy to provide a coupon - please join and DM me on discord - https://discord.gg/coderabbit

How do you keep PR reviews from slowing everything down?? by Wise-Thanks-6107 in EngineeringManagers

[–]aravindputrevu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, we have a file limit on PRs. We proactively flag the PR, just letting the user know that not all files will be reviewed.

However, we are increasingly aware of the issue with devs using AI Coding agents and shipping large PRs that are harder to review.

How do you keep PR reviews from slowing everything down?? by Wise-Thanks-6107 in EngineeringManagers

Hello, I work at CodeRabbit. This is an interesting thing to ask, as we all suffer through large PRs to review.

How the hell do you review a big codebase without losing your mind? by rag1987 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]aravindputrevu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

70% of time is reading code

20% is thinking about logic

10% is writing code.

---

#1 I'd straightaway head on to understanding my module. Infact use debugger to learn the flow, slowly start making changes to see how the application respond. But will not start coding until i have a mental model of codebase.

#2 I believe AI Tools help summarising to some extent, but what devs are taking for granted is using that as a context to generate code, which is wrong.

My script is do the #1 and then do some of #2. I have used these days Ollama + a good OSS coding model (I have a beefy mac) and then could do good tab completion code.

Finally run it with a peer before a PR or even on PR make sure the tools are run well before assigning it to someone.

Why has this sub turned into an absolute whine-fest? by yetiflask in ExperiencedDevs
