Ask HN: How do you manage initiation of code reviews on pull requests on time

Sparkenstein — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 08:07:12 +0000

Do you share PR links on Slack? Or a dedicated channel? Or DM?

Is there a tool?

Currently, I am looking for a way to not keep PRs open for a long time without having to tag the reviewer in person. Please no AI tools.

Close, got tech interview at least, but they had a req for higher experience.

Nothing fancy, but it's a "terminal" with xterm. Helps keeping "Do you know REST and git?" type of recruiters away at least.

Author of devtools-x here. Thank you for the support :D. We have 40+ features now (not counting json-to-yaml and yaml-to-json as 2 different tools), feel free to request any specific feature you want on the issue tracker. Will be more than happy to implement it.
