Team muted AI code review within two weeks — a real auth bug slipped to prod
Specialist_Agent3599 · reddit · 2026-09-05
A team habitually clicked "resolve" on CodeRabbit comments because most of its 15 comments on a 40-line PR were noise like "rename this" or "consider a docstring". One resolved comment was real: a new endpoint missing an auth check, flagged in comment 9 of 15. It sat in prod for six days until a customer found it, and the postmortem notes "the review tool flagged it".
The author's takeaway: the bot was right — the team trained itself to ignore it. Noise calibration in AI code review matters; low-value comments systematically bury real signals.
