It looks like they use real live human reviewers. Seems like a great remote job position.

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 years of incredible experience go away.

I am guessing the pitch went "It is like Uber for code review" /s

Seriously though, I am curious if the quality will remain high as they scale. I wish them luck. I would bet one of the big players acquires them within 1-2 years.

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 not sure how that deck worked out ;-) /s

Yeah, it's hard enough to find quality Devs as it is. When your entire business is about high quality Dev review your going to need a lot of them.

Their front page shows "pullrequest [bot]" commenting on a commit. Very curious as to exactly how they're making that work.

Defiantly humans. They have a link to sign up as a code reviewer.

I'd love to know how many code reviewers are developers who are performing code-reviews during their 9-5 job.
