I'm very excited to see this -- data portability and management is a primary struggle we're trying to map out. Would love to see an engineering post on what you did for ElasticSearch.

Yes; we most definitely have teams from Fortune 500s running mission critical code through out platform. We will be releasing a case study from one in the next quarter. I would say the difference on the reviewer side of our platform is in

Yes; unfortunately QA was used here, when QA doesn't capture what we do. Probably my fault in the interview.

Thanks much -- this is a company, product, and project where we have the liberty and passion to say that quality is what we care the most about. Also: I'm lame, I went with "We're the Hotmail of Food Delivery." Still no

Definitely a concern within the business -- we're trying to solve this through a combination of tooling and reassignment of reviewers to the same projects. Within tooling, we use analysis to pair developers with expertise against a pr

Yes; one of the reasons I created the company was to give flexibility to people I've seen drop out of the industry for one reason or another (be it having kids, illness, etc). It's a real shame when life condition means that year

We both internally and have customer rate reviews -- we also establish corpus details with customers during the onboarding process. On the whole, we believe it's valuable to stay within the structure established within a team and nudg

Disclosure: I'm Lyal Avery, founder of PullRequest. On functional terms, we have a couple of thousand reviewers that have signed up to review. Our tooling helps them work faster; long term, we'll also provide this tooling to inter

As someone who works with a lot of 1099s, this definitely hits a need. Are you storing/validating tax docs?

The solution is fairly straight forward - create economic and package parity for Canadian entrepreneurs and workers. It's hard for Canadian employers to pay similar wages to other countries for a variety of reasons. Most of them are c

We price based on the amount of review being done per month. $49 is the base threshold; individual reviews can vary based on the amount of code being reviewed at once. We're figuring out the exact pricing model for individuals and te

Thanks for the insight. We'll definitely be clearing up the pricing packages.

We're trying out a few different models right now. Our goal is to make sure that developers are getting great pay and want to work with us!

We would love to offer one review a month - unfortunately, because there are humans on the other side of the review, it's harder to do this than for a straight SaaS operation. We'll definitely have free tiers for our static and in

We're still exploring the landscape on this. At the core, we're hiring reviewers in jurisdictions that we have presence for (currently North America), and they are signing a 3 way agreement with the company under review. This of

I think that's a natural place where our tooling will evolve to - a lot of things that aren't caught in an automated way, after being trained with real review, will. There's no replacement for the human component of review t

Great catch! Thanks, replied on twitter - we're dog fooding our own product, so as a reviewer, you'll definitely see our code in the review queue.

Review offers flexiblity that other forms of contracting don't - there's no project management, client negotiation, etc.

I agree - interesting landscape to play in.

To clarify, our pricing page is probably too confusing for folks at this stage -- we aren't saying that we can provide unlimited reviews for $49. Rather, teams and individuals can expect costs to scale up from that baseline.
27.
by lyal 9y ago
Yes; pricing starts at 49$ per month, but that would be for a single review.

by lyal 9y ago
Appreciate your view. I think for teams with strong code review practices, we make sense as extra eyes rather than full replacement. Edit to expand: We also believe that reviewers attached to projects will gain context quite rapidly. We h

Yes; because there is a human reviewing, we have to start at a pricepoint that makes sense. Saving time and lowering risk is worth getting really great reviewers - to do that, we need to pay them a great bid per review. We offer a free revi

We have a few folks that have signed up for just this! I think it's a neat concept.
