I Tried to Build an AI Code Reviewer Without Sharing My Code — Here's What Worked

A developer tackled the challenge of reviewing a hefty 800+ lines pull request by seeking a quick sanity check on style, bugs, and security without sharing proprietary code. Initially tempted to use an external AI like ChatGPT, concerns over legal and security issues led to building a custom, in-house AI code reviewer. This effort highlights the growing tension between rapid tech development and the need to protect sensitive information, underscoring the importance of balancing innovation with data security.
