There’s plenty of alternatives, but people continue to stay. Therefore, it’s not as bad as you think it is.

Show HN: PullMaster – Recommends code reviewers from your repo history

justinko — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 01:46:45 +0000

I've been a developer for 20+ years and reviewer selection has been a recurring problem at every company I've worked at. Either you're a CODEOWNER getting spammed on every PR, or you're in Slack trying to find someone who actually knows the code you changed. CODEOWNERS is too coarse — it maps paths to people, but doesn't account for who's available, who reviewed this author before, or who actually touched these files recently.

I built PullMaster to fix this. It's a GitHub App that analyzes your repo's actual history and recommends the best reviewer for each PR. It adapts to the risk level of each change, so critical PRs surface experienced reviewers while routine ones get distributed across the team.

Install the GitHub App and comment `@pullmaster-ai suggest` on a PR to get a recommendation with an explanation, or `@pullmaster-ai assign` to also request the review automatically. No configuration needed — it learns from your repo as soon as it's installed.

It's free. I'd use it at my day job but being in a heavily regulated industry without SOC 2 makes that a non-starter, so I'm looking for early users and feedback. Happy to answer questions about how it works.

It also gave us sleep apnea.

Sure, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t use AI for writing, just that the AI needs to improve.

The most dangerous thing in programming is developer boredom with a dash of hubris and ignorance of the past.

The verbosity of “fed through an LLM” articles are becoming unbearable to digest.
