Next 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.

Wouldn't that create worse programmers?

Please do us a favor and consolidate all these Amazon announcements into a single announcement page link. This is ridiculous.

This always comes up when the big tech cos do their annual conference day thing. We don't consolidate the posts, but we do downweight some of them, so you're actually getting less (Amazon|Google|Apple|Microsoft)iness then the system would otherwise be letting through.

How so? There is so many things that we sometimes forgot. Even experienced developers will make mistakes.

It is not impossible for you to earn second income on H1-B, it's just that the secondary source would need its on visa petition.

The 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.

“Time to hire some code golfers, we’ll put the whole app into one line of code.”

"CodeGuru says this should be separated into more lines..."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've never seen a linter tell me problems with code in this detail before: > You are using a `ConcurrentHashMap`, but your usage of `get()` and `put()` may not be thread-safe at lines: 110, 113, 135, and 137 . Two threads can perform this same check at the same time and one thread can overwrite the value written by the other thread.

staticccheck for Go does _some_ of this kind of thing (documenting improper usage). https://staticcheck.io/docs/checks

SonarQube does as well. I've been shocked at some of the analysis it does.
