Codacy Raises Raises $1.1M to Kill Off Unnecessary Code Reviews

Does anybody else share this view, or is the wording just awkward here? In my experience code reviews help to remove technical debt, rather than accrue it.
Their dashboards look nice. Coming from the .NET world, I know that Resharper has had a lot of that kind of functionality as part of its Visual Studio extension [1]. And apparently you can also build your own custom compiler rules for both F# and C#, as both have a compiler-as-a-service[2][3]. I'm sure similar tools exist for other languages as well.

Coming from a .NET world, you are definitely well served by great tools. Our main selling point with Codacy is that there's a higher value to static analysis tools when they are not only integrated in the collaboration workflow (i.e. Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab, etc) but also integrated with other tools. How does one discover quickly what is the code quality impact of a commit/pull request done by a team member? How about whether a pull request is ready for merge? That's what we're doing essentially.
