Why Greptile just does code reviews and doesn't also generate code

This is advertising for an AI product. Slightly more interesting background story than most articles doing so, but still an ad for a product that probably won't actually work.
mooreds•6mo ago
I have no direct experience with Greptile, but asked about AI code review assistants on a mailing list of engineering leaders I'm on. Several folks suggested greptile.

So, consider this hearsay that it works.

fastest963•6mo ago
My employer uses greptile and I'm pretty happy with it. Sometimes it can be a bit overzealous but more often than not it catches real issues and gives the author a chance to reply or fix them before another human reviews the PR.
fragmede•6mo ago
Calling it an ad is just lazy dismissal. Everybody is selling something. If you’re more focused on purity tests than evaluating whether the idea actually works, you’re not critiquing, you’re gatekeeping.
vouwfietsman•6mo ago
I was so hoping that this would not be about AI, and actually talk about how we need to do better as an industry and start using objective measures of software quality backed by government standards.

Nope, its about AI code reviewing AI, and how that's a good thing.

Its like everyone suddenly forgot the old adage: "code is a liability".

"We write code twice as fast!" just means "we create liability twice as fast!". It's not a good thing, at all.

dang•6mo ago
I had thought that putting quotes around the phrase "independent auditor" above would have prevented this sort of misunderstanding, but clearly not, so I've changed the title to something more straightforward now.

(Submitted title was "Software needs an independent auditor")

literalAardvark•6mo ago
Improving automated code review does improve software, so idk why you're grinding that axe in this particular thread.
vouwfietsman•6mo ago
Because rather than saying: "Maybe you should read all this AI code", or even: "maybe you shouldn't be generating all this AI code", its saying "You're right to generate so much AI code, and you don't have to read it, because you can now get it reviewed by AI!".

Its like making a product to reduce hangover for heroin addicts: yes, maybe it helps, but maybe you shouldn't be a heroin addict?

brynary•6mo ago
This rings similar to a recent post that was on the front page about red team vs. blue team.

Before running LLM-generated code through yet more LLMs, you can run it through traditional static analysis (linters, SAST, auto-formatters). They aren’t flashy but they produce the same results 100% of the time.

Consistency is critical if you want to pass/fail a build on the results. Nobody wants a flaky code reviewer robot, just like flaky tests are the worst.

I imagine code review will evolve into a three tier pyramid:

1. Static analysis (instant, consistent) — e.g using Qlty CLI (https://github.com/qltysh/qlty) as a Claude Code or Git hook

2. LLMs — Has the advantage of being able to catch semantic issues

3. Human

We make sure commits pass each level in succession before moving on to the next.

dakshgupta•6mo ago
Reading that post sent me down the path to this one. This stack order makes total sense, although in practice it's possible 1-2 merge into a single product with two distinct steps.

The 3. is interesting too - my suspicion is that ~70% of PRs are too minor to need human review as the models get better, but the top 30% will because there will be opinion on what is and isn't the right way to do that complex change.
