We currently let loose Gemini, Cursor Bugbot, Qodo, and even Sentry started reviewing PRs now.

My usually prefer Gemini but sometimes other tools catch bugs Gemini doesn't.

As someone who has never heard of Graphite, can anyone share their experience comparing it to any of the tools above?

Their AI review is sub par, but everything else is really good.

I think trivial GH integrations are easy.

If you've used Graphite as a customer for any reasonable period of time or as part of a bigger enterprise/org and still think our app's particular integration with GH is easy... I think that's more a testament to the work we've done to hide how hard it is :)

Most of the "hard" problems we're solving (which I'm referencing in my original comment) are not visually present in the CLI or web application. It's actually subtle failure-states or unavailability that you would only see if I'm doing my job poorly.

I'm not talking about just our CLI tool or stacking, to clarify. I'm talking about our whole suite, especially the review page and merge queue.

What kind of enterprise SaaS features do you wish you had in Graphite? (We have multiple orgs with 100s-1,000s of engineers using us today!)

The Graphite review UI/UX is at least 3x better than GitHub, and also somehow loads faster. Same with the customizable PR inbox. Love it! Appreciate your work on the platform!

GitHub is slow bloatware at this point. I can get a PR to load at least 2-3x faster in Graphite than GitHub. I avoid going directly to their UI at all costs now.

They say money is the root of all evil, and I think that is the core issue. It's unchecked greed and blind nationalism. Political and racial polarization is profitable. Selling guns and ammo is profitable. Being a corrupt politician who helps their rich friends make more money is profitable.

I've always done a lot of the things listed in the post, but just considered it as part of the job. I like laying it out like this as a strategy. I think this is a great strategy for anyone starting a new job, entry level and up!

Another part of a good code review is to pick your battles. I used to comment on every little thing. Now I have a threshold below which I won't bother unless it would significantly improve the readability or runtime characteristics. Your coworkers' sanity is just as important as the code to ensure that the team achieves their goals.

If I feel like the author might just not be aware of some "better" (subjectively) way of doing things, then I'll leave a "FYI: could also do this in X way" type of comment.

The “suggest change” feature in github is a great way to suggest nitpick fixes without coming off like a jerk. You actually do the work, and the author can easily merge in all those changes with one click. They’ll avoid making those small mistakes / style choices over time. Also it feels more collaborative and less “do this because i said so”.

The site the post mentions for the original code (https://reactive.network/hackathon) is an accessibility nightmare.

How come the chargeback value could be that much higher than the revenue? (NB: revenue, not profit)

If I buy a $3 product and chargeback, then I get $3 back, right? Or does the payment processor bill you $15 for each chargeback no matter the transaction cost?

gnutrino · a year ago

Yes, the payment processor will charge you for each chargeback. Stripe’s fee is $15 per chargeback.

The amount of fraud and scammers out there is insane. I worked on a platform that only had a few hundred in revenue a month (just starting out). We did many smaller transactions, and getting hit with disputes was a killer. If someone did 15 transactions, they could get hit with 15 chargebacks up to 3 months later. So for every transaction, even if it only generated $3 in revenue, the chargeback could be potentially $15. (And you lose the revenue!). So for one customer who only spent $45, you could lose $270.

Even when we knew the person was legit, and just wanted a refund, they would do disputes. We only won a handful of disputes. The bank / credit card company will almost always side with their customer, even when provided receipts / terms of service / conversations with the customer where they admit the product met their needs.

Your guess is incorrect. Look up CLIP, BLIP, and SigLip for an idea of how they work.

Will do, thank you.
