Hannes De SmetCode reviews are often considered a pain, resulting in quick approvals and bugs reaching production. CodeRabbit and Sourcery aim to solve this by letting an AI agent review your changes early on.
In this episode, data & platform engineer Hannes De Smet shows Jonny what he learned after exploring several AI Code Reviewers. Hannes demos both tools on a real code change, allowing a critical look at the quality of the suggestions, as well as the user experience. It turns out that, depending on the context, both could use some improvements.
