Thanks! Updated.

Thanks! Pricing is a place we're working out details. We'd like to offer lower tiers for individuals/freelancers in the future for our static and automated tooling.

Completely agree! The idea of a 10x reviewer has been a big part of my thinking on creating this company (and the movement of specialization for review out of big tech companies into smaller engineering teams).

Thanks - excellent notes regarding knowledge sharing. We've kicked around the notion of automatically generating reports from reviews for sharing around the contents of the code review (and underlying changes).

Could be fascinating to highlight config/code/approach changes on each pull request. Could actually help velocity across entire teams.

Thanks! We're still early in our life cycle -- but on the roadmap is the creation of reviewer profiles (as an optional feature). This'll allow us to highlight strong reviewers, their projects, etc.

Incentives and gamification are definitely there as well. We want to bonus people for doing thoughtful code review.

Great insight. Definitely something we are tackling. For once off reviews on an individual pull request, it can be challenging to do anything but surface review. As a result, we're building some summarization tools to help provide context rapidly to a reviewer. Over the lifetime of a project, we have reviewers assigned to the same projects so that they build up context, in the same way that team members do.

Thanks much! A lot of good notes; some initial reactions:

Completely agree re: editorconfig. Very necessary to prevent bikeshedding. We're actually building a dedicated review IDE.

Part of our roadmap is to offer open source projects code review -- not just for exposure, but to work with reviewer standards on.

We're definitely interested in security review.

Think it's probably wrong to say that they don't have anything -- they just have less on a GDP basis.

Seeding entrepreneurialism in emerging markets makes sense both altruistically and in return potential for an investor -- you're not competing in a saturated market, like say seed investing in the valley, and costs are low. If you can solve the other side, such as access to capital, M&A opportunity, and potentially international customers, as Jorn is doing, you're in a great place.

The part about training for business conduct feels a bit iffy in tone from the level of detail it goes into. I bought a company in Germany a few years back, and my Canadian sensibilities certainly offended folks until I learned the rules of the local culture. Any cross border business interactions are fraught with this.

A few of my friends are currently investing/managing a company out of Ghana. Extremely low investment has yielded a great growth curve, and they're changing how sub-Saharan Africans manage their finances. They're some of the happiest investor/entrepreneurs I know.

Very excited by this! We're really working hard to make technology easier for social/mobile games.

Congrats to Ryan et all.

Great article.

Great post.

Wow.. quite the win!

Awesome post - very helpful.

Very smart guy! Going to be great advice!
