If you squint this looks like a baby step towards computers writing code.

#42Poor naming choice, considering CodeGuru.com has been around for what, decades?
I'm thinking Amazon doesn't care a whole lot about the IP of others. I say that based on reports of rampant counterfeit goods and complaints about Amazon copying product design for their in-house brands.

#43Next 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.

That's a pretty deep rabbit hole. But considering that old "IDEs" with crappy "Intellisense", "Quickfix" or similar were widely sold, there's potential there.

#44I got to preview this service (the code review service) a few weeks ago.
The best thing about it was the recommendations on how to use the AWS SDK better as that's probably got the most potential to drift or make mistakes on

#45The 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.
Don't accidentally commit `node_modules` - that'd be a costly mistake!
Or a 35,000 line XML configuration file.

#46Please do us a favor and consolidate all these Amazon announcements into a single announcement page link. This is ridiculous.
AWS Reinvent is going on. Announcements are done piece meal.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was thinking about the same thing. Even for a small project of 3 developers, it seems like this would rise easily to the $100+/month, for suggestions that may not even be that useful.
at which point you'd stop paying for it I would imagine?
There doesn't seem to be a point to start paying for it, and the time to stop paying for it seems mighty early

#48Code review if done right is a place to learn. Criticizing (and automatically fixing) code style issues and nit-picky can be done by a machine.

It's not only about the code. For example it also could fixe your import paths if one of your libraries has a CVE and a new version was released. In the case of Fixmie, all the fixes are "suggestion" and GitHub nicely allows you to batch them all and submit with them in a single commit.
(Disclaimer: I'm working for GitHub, but on a different project)

That’s incredibly cheap, assuming it provides good suggestions. How much time does it take you to review 500 lines of code change, and what’s your time worth? If it takes 10 minutes and your time is worth about $20/hour or more, this service will part for itself immediately.
Yeah or looking at it the other way around. If this would replace your human reviewer, then maybe you would do good to have some serious discussions with your HR department...
