Assuming trust in the AWS code reviews (I mean, that dataset is huge), I suspect this has use in the review portion even without considering profiling. Hoping there is more detail on the ML used, as it appears more adaptable than current rule based code reviewing solutions... here come more and more Dev-focused integrations coming to the code level

#102They should compute the SHA512 hash of lines of code or code blocks from well-known open source projects and then just give you pre-computed "reviews" for those lines/blocks, and then only charge for "novel" code. Otherwise you would need to waste time segregating your original code from the various packages you use. And it seems unfair to charge customers for canned results that can be cached and served at very low…
I think you can set it to only scan when new pull requests are made. So you could commit your libraries etc without asking for review and then turn it on only for code you have written.
I might be wrong though.

Or a 35,000 line XML configuration file.
Now that I think of it, if it's paid by lines of code, it perversely incentives people to minimize the lines of code, no? Does it count white space and comments? Can I minify my code before passing it to this, then unminify it?
Maybe it’s on recommended line formatting

Have you tried

Seconded. I used them a lot when I worked for myself on old-school single server apps but have struggled to convince my team now that I work on something spread across AWS instances. I'd just brought the concept up again this week for a hackathon project but this looks like we could buy our way to what I want for cheap (compared to overall hosting). I suspect it may pay for itself.

Wouldn't that create worse programmers?
How so? There is so many things that we sometimes forgot. Even experienced developers will make mistakes.
If you relieve the programmer of thinking where his error is and give him the fix, the programmer will not bother to reason out what the solution is, he will simply expect it from you.

Re: Amazon CodeGuru – Preview
#108The code review feature seems too expensive to run on every PR automatically (to me): $0.75 per 100 lines of code. From their example pricing: "if you have a typical pull request with 500 lines of code, it would only cost $3.75 to run CodeGuru Reviewer on it." I wonder if it's actually good enough to justify that price.
Or when a junior dev switches from tabs to spaces
heh.. I wish it were only junior devs.

#109Next step is to provide automated fixes. I've have a side project that does it for Go source code: https://fixmie.com (have plans for other languages and protocols). But due my Visa situation here in the US (H1B), I'll be never able to monetize it as it's illegal to have a side income. But I think this is just the start and there is an huge opportunity for new startups and projects.
How is your project different than Getafix from Facebook?

Re: Amazon CodeGuru – Preview
#110One of their screenshot examples flags inefficient code in crypto libraries, and the suggested "fix" is "Evaluate switching to the Amazon Corretto Crypto Provider ACCP". I don't know enough about the subject matter area to know whether that's the right move, but it's interesting that CodeGuru is apparently, among other things, an opportunity to pay Amazon to upsell you on replacing some of your code with one of the panoply of services in the AWS universe.
