CEO of MIDAO, the regulatory infrastructure layer for DAOs, Web3, and Decentralized AI Agents. We're the exclusive registered agent for Digital LLCs in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and we've helped 250+ companies incorporate there since the 2022 statute.

My background spans crypto, AI, capital markets, and law. I think a lot about how to bridge sovereign legal systems with on-chain governance, tokenized instruments, jurisdictional optionality, and the structural side of what makes for a successful DAO.

Software developer on the side.

Fair point. But since Claude Code I guess? :D

Your review is ready sir

https://github.com/Vija02/TheOpenPresenter/pull/170#issuecom...

This was claude-only, no codex / --ensemble mode. It ran against the branch's base, which is 1 behind main.

Would love your feedback when you have the chance!

I will be trying these and will report back!

Well, it doesn’t give you an opinion on whether you should merge or not. It gives you a list of issues along with details about those issues, such as fix hints, and whether you need human attention before fixing.

It’s all given to you in a structured file, in your chat, and as a nicely formatted PR comment.

Still up to the human to decide whether and when to merge based on the output!

Yesss! On it now! 1-2 hours you’ll get a comment

Meanwhile here's what it looks like - just ran it on my own other repo: https://github.com/adamjgmiller/worktreehq/pull/145#issuecom...

That is such a great point. We do need evals for this - and not just ones that the model companies use themselves. They have to be public and sharable and easy to use ourselves.

And in terms of sharing, I agree. On one hand, so many of us are already doing this themselves. On the other hand, when I was first learning CC and agentic engineering (vibe coding at the time :) ), I did find some of these random people's templates useful.

That is such a good point.

I recently opened a PR against this AI personal finance tool Ray https://github.com/cdinnison/ray-finance/pull/8 to add an Apple Card import feature, since Apple Card is not supported by Plaid.

I built the manual import feature, opened the PR, and then ran a code review.

What I hadn't thought about when I built the feature, was the myriad ways that the implications of importing data from Apple would have to be considered and integrated into the rest of the app, for the manual import to be a first-class feature, not "just a manual import" of data.

I ended up running adamsreview against it like 5-10 times, before considering it complete, as I learned that there was much more to the integration than I realized.

Now is that necessarily a problem? Maybe not. I should have realized from the start that the import feature was going to much more than just a small feature. But at least, thanks to the review loop, I got it completely right before the PR was merged.

Does anyone have an open PR on a public repo?

I'll run this against your PR for you with my CC credits as a sort-of benchmark! Send me your PR link :)

I'm going to create one on one of my other repos meanwhile and add a link to the review when it's ready.

No not at all! I haven't used it to review itself actually, for the most part, because adamsreview is mostly english language, not much code.

Here's a comment from adamsreview, but even this was 3 weeks ago, and I've worked on it a lot since then: https://github.com/cdinnison/ray-finance/pull/8#issuecomment...

I'll try to find a good public PR to review sometime soon so I can share that and add it to the Readme. This is really good feedback. I should have had something like this ready before posting to Show HN.

It burns a lot of tokens, that's for sure.

Friction - maybe? Depending on what you mean.

But it's extremely useful and effective compared to everything else out there that I've tried, if you're looking for an AI code review. Let me know if you try it - or find anything else that might work too without the bazillion prompts :)

That's awesome to hear and I'd love to see it when you're ready.

I actually think having something like adamsreview orchestrated by deterministic code - instead of simply having AI agents use deterministic code occasionally as this app does - could be even better!

The problem I ran into is that if you build a deterministic app that happens to use LLMs instead of the other way around, I don't think there's any way to get it to use your Claude Code subscription credits. It has to use API. And something like adamsreview would end up being so expensive if not subsidized by Anthropic along with the rest of our CC usage.

Curious to hear about your experience.

I totally see where you guys are coming from.

It sometimes feels silly to me to have AI reviewing AI reviewing AI all the way down - see my above comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48095831

But with human judgment inserted into the right steps, it's really LLMs leveraging human thought at key stages and then, to your point, LLMs fighting LLMs fighting LLMs all the way down until...

Someone like me who has loved software his whole life and never been able to build anything more than a front-end website himself is building entire applications. So maybe it's worth the complexity!
