Senior devs spot red flags in junior portfolios in seconds, but we (almost) never explain them.

After reviewing hundreds (thousands?) of junior developer portfolios, I realized two things:

Junior devs do their best but don’t know the red flags senior developers spot immediately Nobody tells them

So I built https://yourlead.dev to automate myself : it analyzes GitHub repositories and: - flags the issues a lead developer would raise during a real code review - explains why they matter - gives concrete tips on how to fix them - and even helps prepare for technical interviews

I spent a lot of time fine-tuning it based on my experience across different contexts (because expectations are very different in an early startup, a scale-up, or a bank).

btw, I'm giving free reviews in exchange for feedback ;)
