I built a GitHub-native coding / review agent that outperforms CodeRabbit (by a lot), and it only took me like two hundred hours. There are a few of us using it at work, meanwhile CodeRabbit is valued at $550M.

Do you have paying customers? Putting money into customer acquisition and retention is where a lot of money can go versus R&D.

No, I don’t. I built it inside of my employer’s walls (hedge fund), so I’d have to rebuild it from scratch in order to acquire paying customers (not a bad idea).

True, from scratch, may need to be cautious regarding re-creating it having built it on your employer's time and machinery/property, check your employment contract. Still very cool that you built this!
