CodeRabbit

Guten Morgen! We're coming to Hamburg with a few friends for a limited access AI hackathon! Stay tuned for details!

If you're a solo builder, security is your responsibility, so here are some tips for shipping safe and reliable code. Semgrep is your go-to for static application security testing (SAST). It catches vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, and supply chain risks during development before they ever reach production. CodeRabbit is the best! at code reviews on every PR. It provides line-by-line analysis, catches bugs, flags security issues, and auto-learns from your feedback, like having a senior reviewer on every commit. Sentry is amazing for performance issues in production. When something breaks, it pinpoints the exact commit and line of code so you can fix it in minutes, not hours. For proactive threat research, I use FOFA and Validin to research for vulnerabilities that can harm my project. A recent query exposed systems vulnerable to CVE-2025-55182 and CVE-2025-66478 critical flaws in Next.js middleware and Server-Side Request Forgery that can lead to authentication bypass and unauthorized access. FOFA Query to search through effected devices app="NEXT.JS" || app="React.js" Building applications solo doesn't mean unprotected and we have all of the necessary tools to build proactively. Other useful tools if you use Next.JS: https://lnkd.in/ectjDXGU https://biomejs.dev/ This command is also best for fixing latest vulnerabilities npm install -g @neurolint/cli neurolint security:cve-2025-55182 . --fix #Programming #NextJS #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #SWE #ThreatHunting

San Francisco is coming to Hamburg. Hendrik Krack and I are organizing with AI BEAVERS Hamburg's Christmas SFxHH Ai Hackathon. This December, we are turning up the heat. Join us for a high-intensity AI Sprint hosted in collaboration with CodeRabbit and Windsurf. Not quite like your causal X-mas gathering; this one is about shipping code. Whether you are a veteran ML engineer or a full-stack dev looking to leverage the latest in AI agents or just an AI enthusiast, this is your arena. You’ll have direct access to experts from Coderabbit and Windsurf to give you the edge you need. We are looking for technicality, impact, scalability, and business sense. Come ready to team up, lock in, and deploy something impressive before the night ends. We are only limited to 80 attendees and half has already been taken within 24hours of announcement. So get in FAST. Attendees register here: https://luma.com/yqg1y4d6 Thanks to: CodeRabbit Windsurf re-entry.ai AI BEAVERS found Hamburg

Every few months, a new large-language model drops with headlines promising “next-level reasoning,” “longer context,” or “faster throughput.” For most developers, the temptation is simple: plug it in, flip the switch, and ride the wave of progress. We know that impulse. But for us, adopting a new model isn’t an act of curiosity, it’s a multi-week engineering campaign. Our customers don’t see that campaign, and ideally, they never should. The reason CodeRabbit feels seamless is precisely because we do the hard work behind the scenes evaluating, tuning, and validating every model before it touches a single production review. This is what it really looks like. We break it down into 5 main phases: > Curiosity > Evaluation > Adaptation > Rollout > Steady-State Our own David Loker explains more! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eqfHPy8j

Proud to be a part of this amazing hackathon! Best of luck to those 1,000+ builders!

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Brian Kernighan (co-creator of Unix) Is it even hard with AI involved? Aleks Volochnev has been programming since he was ten. When it became a career, he got obsessed with code quality: clean code, design patterns, all that good stuff. His pull requests were polished like nobody's business: well-thought-out logic, proper error handling, comments, tests, documentation. Everything that makes reviewers nod approvingly. Then, LLMs came along and changed everything. We don't write that much code anymore since AI does it faster. Developer’s work now mainly consists of two parts: explaining to a model what you need, then verifying what it wrote, right? We’ve become more of a code architect and quality inspector rolled into one. And here came a problem he knew all too well from his years as a tech lead: READING CODE IS ACTUALLY HARDER THAN WRITING IT. Do you agree? Let's talk about it 👇 https://lnkd.in/eQSsY66a

Your PR reviews still taking forever? I recently started using CodeRabbit to support my PR review process, and the impact was immediate. Most engineering teams don’t slow down because of poor code quality. They slow down because reviewers spend 70% of their time catching repeat issues instead of evaluating the actual functionality and business impact. AI-assisted reviews changed that for me. Instead of flagging only formatting or lint-level problems, the tool provides a deep, context-aware analysis and surfaces issues that typically take hours to uncover: * Code quality and readability concerns * Hidden bugs, edge cases, and logical inconsistencies * Potential regressions or breaking changes * Missing null checks, validations, and error handling * Security vulnerabilities and unsafe patterns * Architectural deviations and consistency gaps * Naming, structure, and file-organization improvements * Test coverage gaps with recommended scenarios * Unnecessary complexity or repetitive logic This reduced my review time from hours to minutes—without compromising depth or quality. The real advantage? I can now focus on feature behaviour, performance, user impact, and architectural decisions, rather than spending time on repetitive, mechanical checks. AI won’t replace PR reviewers. But it will replace slow, inefficient review cycles. If your team is still relying entirely on manual reviews, you may be leaving substantial productivity gains on the table. #SoftwareEngineering #CodeReview #AIForDevelopers #CodeQuality #ProductivityHacks #AItools #EngineeringLeadership #CodeRabbit #ShipFaster #AIReview #PRReview
