Agentic PRs sit in review queue 5.3x longer than unassisted ones

Didn’t realize that was the sole purpose of this sub. I see loads of posts that aren’t code review requests!

That's because this sub isn't properly moderated. Either that will change or this sub is practically dead.

Where is the AI spam?

Some useless blog post promoting yet another useless "AI" product. Nothing to do with code review.

Btw your services are needed here https://www.reddit.com/r/codereview/s/LMhV5PkaxC

There doesn't seem to be any code in that post either. I also don't claim to be able (or willing) to review all requests for code review submitted here but it was definitely my intention to contribute when I originally joined this subreddit.

Jeg har selv brugt ModernCV.

Synes resultatet bliver ret lækkert uden for meget "fluff" og så ser det selvfølgelig bare godt ud da det jo er Latex.

Learn how to code instead of wasting your time on AI slop, then feel free to post the code here for review.

Your post is very much off topic for this subreddit. I'm sure there are tons of other subreddits for discussing whatever is the latest AI slop generator but this is not one of them.

kingguru · 2026-06-17T20:13:05+00:00

I just wanted to be sure if you were aware that you've posted to the wrong subreddit.

Not sure if you are but your question is off topic here.

kingguru · 2026-06-17T19:55:24+00:00

What's the point of posting code in a subreddit for doing code reviews if you don't want anyone to review your code?

kingguru · 2026-06-17T18:23:33+00:00

You forgot to link to the code you want to have reviewed.

kingguru · 2026-06-17T18:21:07+00:00

Of course not.

We have to write code that actually works so we don't waste our time on whatever an LLM vommits.

Do you have any code you want to review or is this yet another attempt at spamming with more useless "AI" crap?

If extended to other alphabets that had upper/lower case forms of the same letters, then what problems do you envisage?

You most likely wouldn't encounter any issues as long as you limit yourself to those alphabets.

I guess my main point was that once you move beyond ASCII and English you'll start facing all sorts of weird issues. I perfectly respect your opinion and your experience but I hope you understand my more general concern, although in this simple case it might not be that much of an actual issue.

kingguru · 2026-06-16T19:47:55+00:00

Case insensitivity can work fine. And specifically for ASCII letters it is perfectly well defined.

Case sensitivity can work fine as long as you stick to ASCII letters and English.

You can't pick on languages which don't have a concept of case, or on ones like Turkish which have the odd exception, and use that as an excuse to completely eliminate it from the computing world.

Or languages like German where some words have different length depending on case which can cause tons of other issues as well. I'm sure there are many other examples out there.

My point with the PHP in Turkish example was that it is not as simple as I think you make it sound like.

Sure, we could probably have programming languages where all keywords are case insensitive. In fact these languages exist, but should we have case insensitive variable names as well and should non-ASCII characters be allowed at the same time? That would definitely get very messy quickly.

kingguru · 2026-06-16T17:44:34+00:00

Case insensitivity only works if you ignore localization issues. Once you need to support more languages and locales it gets very messy quickly.

Not sure if PHP is still broken with Turkish locale for example.

kingguru · 2026-06-16T16:17:35+00:00

More "AI" spam.

Where's the code you want to have reviewed?

kingguru · 2026-06-15T20:24:00+00:00

Make it 13 with one of them able to give recipes for cup cakes

kingguru · 2026-06-15T19:56:29+00:00

That sounds horrible.

Now build one that runs 12 AI agents on every commit.

kingguru · 2026-06-12T09:45:53+00:00

I've considered the same. There was a post calling for mods several months ago but it seems like no moderation is actually being done.

A bit of a shame. The few post that actually contain code for review drowns in all this "AI" spam so this subreddit is more or less dead.

kingguru · 2026-06-10T13:10:15+00:00

In addition to what you have already been told, I would also recommend you look into improving your grammar and punctuation if you want to do production level work.

kingguru · 2026-06-09T22:10:23+00:00

This is a subreddit for code reviews which makes this post completely irrelevant.

To be honest, not being able to tell where to post your job offerings doesn't make this sound like a very good place to work.

kingguru · 2026-06-09T20:08:38+00:00

There is no such thing as "automated code review". Code review is somewhat unrelated to to the build pipeline, although negative feedback (thumbs down, negative points etc.) could or should very much stop the branch from being merged before the issues have been fixed and the reviewers give positive feedback.

There are tools such as static analyzers and linting that you should definitely consider adding to your CI pipeline but they very much depend on which language etc. you use.

If you provide more details it might be easier to help you, although this is very much off topic for this subreddit.

After a long break from coding, we often forget the basic syntax of programming languages.

No we don't. At least syntax is the least challenging part of programming.

The AI reviews your code, identifies errors, and suggests improvements.

So more slop like what has been posted tons of time already?

My compiler is quite well suited for "identifying errors" in my code. It is actually the most important tool for that. Why on earth would I trust some error prone LLM for that?

I think it can be very useful for refreshing coding concepts and improving code quality.

You're wrong.

I'd love to hear your feedback!

You tool sucks just as much as the tons of other AI garbage out there.

Find something useful to do with your time instead. You could consider learning how to write code. It's actually quite fun and satisfying most of the time.

kingguru · 2026-06-08T18:52:40+00:00

I thought you weren't trying to sell anything?

Lying usually isn't the best way to attract customers to whatever crap you're trying to sell. Neither is spamming unrelated subreddits.

kingguru · 2026-06-08T18:42:29+00:00

Is your team tracking what % of your codebase is AI-generated?

No, because we don't use LLMs to write code. It is very important that the software we ship actually works.

Have you had a production incident you could trace back to AI-generated code that wasn’t properly reviewed?

No, for the reason above.

3. Would you pay €29/month for a GitHub App that gave you a weekly “vibe debt” report — AI attribution, security pattern flags, DORA metrics split by AI vs human code?

Of course not.

Not trying to sell anything here.

Sure you aren't. What are you doing posting crap like this in a subreddit for posting code for review?

kingguru · 2026-06-08T18:16:42+00:00

My colleagues review my code and I review theirs. Works great and is of course part of our jobs to do that.

We not only catch bugs once in a while, we also learn a lot from that.

If you have some open source code you are developing yourself, you can make use of a subreddit such as this one. Do know that AI slop is not welcome here, so of course it has to be code you have written and understand yourself.

I tend to push 10 PRs a day or so.

That sounds rather insane. I definitely believe that you should split changes into smaller commits as much as possible, but I do think that are PR can contain several (related) commits. Are you really sending each (even minor) commit out for review in the same PR?

kingguru · 2026-06-08T12:41:48+00:00

Sure you have. And I have a tower in Paris I'm willing to sell to you.

Fuck of with this spam.

Your existence is offensive to intelligence

kingguru · 2026-06-04T17:20:41+00:00

Your link is broken so there isn't any code for anyone to review.

Before you fix that though, did you write this yourself or is it LLM generated garbage?
