btw, I don't advertise it but junior devs can also use the tool for take home assignments (not sure if it would be a good or a bad thing as a recruiter)
I should investigate this, though. thanks for the heads up !
After reviewing hundreds (thousands?) of junior developer portfolios, I realized two things:
Junior devs do their best but don’t know the red flags senior developers spot immediately Nobody tells them
So I built https://yourlead.dev to automate myself : it analyzes GitHub repositories and: - flags the issues a lead developer would raise during a real code review - explains why they matter - gives concrete tips on how to fix them - and even helps prepare for technical interviews
I spent a lot of time fine-tuning it based on my experience across different contexts (because expectations are very different in an early startup, a scale-up, or a bank).
btw, I'm giving free reviews in exchange for feedback ;)
