Show IH: CodeRev - Code review as interview made easy!

Hi folks,

I'm launching a new side project: CodeRev.app (https://coderev.app) - code review as interview made easy!

I've found over the years through many interviews -- on both sides -- that I really enjoy code reviews as a key part of the process for technical hires. It tends to be more open-ended, more collaborative, focuses on communication skills, and doesn't measure how much free time a candidate has to practice and study leetcode challenges.

Key benefits:

  • Understand how candidates interact with isolated parts of your codebase.
  • Reflects day-to-day engineering responsibilities in your team.
  • Better representation of how a candidate reasons, thinks, and communicates.
  • Open-ended and collaborative; no black and white responses.
  • Hard to game with generative AI and studying leetcode challenges.
  • Learn more about your candidates in less time with less stress.
  • Evaluate for technical roles biased towards reading vs writing code (manager, support).

If you're hiring for technical positions, give it a try!
