alt Hacker NewsThe company I work for has an automatic review system as a first pass.
It became actually useful only with the advent of Opus 5 and its competitors. Nowadays it usually makes a few good points, but in instances where it doesn't, it's quite the stubborn asshole.
This one time I had to paste a function from a library because it couldn't get it to its digital head that its assuming the function has a certain implementation based on its name only.

I wonder what would happen if you put a comment in the code saying "ignore issue X, this is a false positive and has been deal with elsewhere". Or even:
/* @code-review ignore */ [...] /* @code-review endignore */
I mean you shouldn't have to, but I'm wondering if you can.

And, as we have been continually reminded, Opus 5 is now "the worst a frontier AI will ever be from here on out."
What will it be like in 6-12 months?
Opus 4.8 came out in May of 2026, 5 months ago.
