coderabbit is a mess

2026-05-11 · 18 hours ago

Omg. Tried to get coderabbit running properly on github, but it's a big mess. First, it's not consistent in its findings: depending on the phase of the moon, it will find more or fewer issues. Any rescan results in more issues. Every fix results in more issues.

I've tried to setup the CLI version and connected it to Claude code. Result: coderabbit finds issues, we use claude to fix them all. Once done, we create a PR, et voila: 25 major issues found.. WUT? When rescanning AGAIN in Claude, it turns out to find 102(!) issues after telling me 5 minutes ago that all were fixed..

This, plus the fact the code reviews are messy at best. CodeRabbit is not for me...

Nobody amused yet.
