Discussion trend
The percentage is based on collected discussion signal, not new comments or independent people. The curve only compares the same topic across time.
We got a new guy in July. His second week he messages me, why does my 40 line PR have 15 comments from coderabbit, do I have to do all of these. And I told him what everyone tells the new guy, just click resolve, nobody reads that thing.
Last Thursday one of the ones he resolved was real. New endpoint, no auth check, the bot said so in comment 9 of 15, and it sat in prod for six days until a customer found it. The postmortem has a line that says "the review tool flagged it" and that line is going to follow me around for a while.
I'm not even mad at the bot. It was right and we trained the whole team to ignore it, me included, because the other 14 comments were rename this and consider a docstring.
So now I have a team that doesn't read the bot, a bot that was right once, and a customer who found it before we did.
