My company has used them before. I thought the same before using them. However I was surprised the level of talent they have. For a super senior dev the context that you need for most projects isn’t as much as you think.

It was a net positive for us. Sped up our developer process given its so hard to hire senior devs right now.

They also have domain experts. So say you are using some tech your team isn’t as familiar in. Great to get some extra eyes of that code to check for security issues, potential computation issues etc.

Also they are much more broader than their company name suggests. Think of them as developers as a service. In this hiring environment it’s much needed.

I'm one of those reviewers, and I agree with you about the talent. Not speaking about myself, but the people I've gotten to know and also the ones I have referred.

Each PR gets two reviewers from pullrequest.com, and we get to see each others' comments. One will catch stuff the other misses, and we usually support each other. It's most fascinating when we disagree on something, which so far has always led to a high-quality discussion between the engineers and the reviewers.

I've been working with them for most of 2021, and I can honestly say I'm impressed with the review comments I have seen. It's been nothing but respectful and professional. As a plus, it's made me a better code reviewer at my day job.

You do this on the side of your dayjob for extra income?

I have certainly done this. PullRequest bought the Moonlight developer gig platform. A lot of full-time developers from Moonlight also took on gigs from PullRequest as they've been using the platform to sell their service. I'd guess most reviewers have other jobs or contracts.

Definitely a side-gig. Early on I devoted about 1 hour/day to it. Now I get to it whenever I can.

Hi. I have a question. Do you have an email address or a method of contact?
