One thing I have liked on one of the small business reddits is they require "I will not promote" in submission and as a rule.

Stealth ads are annoying.

That's why I first read the comments to decide if it's worth my time.

I'm curious, why? The startup connection is disclosed in the third sentence so it's not particularly hidden. And at least if it's a real product they're putting their money where their mouth, you can check out their product or reviews from customers to see if their approach is right.

Someone working on AI tooling for code reviews is exactly the right person I'd want to get an opinion from on the space, otherwise it's just opining with no validation.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to be an ad. I have been interviewing engineering leaders for months, and my startup idea is born out of it. I don't have the product ready yet - it is evolving based on what I am learning.

I just thought it would be a good idea to share what I have learnt.
