  • Interesting idea even for non-AI code.
  • Isn't this just static code analysis? We have tools for this.
  • What's the structural decay score of this HN title? Apparently not high enough to be gated.
  • What languages does this support? I'm guessing it's Python only, but it would be nice if that was mentioned somewhere.
  • The overuse of “gate” in this post title makes me think the entire thing was vibe coded even the marketing.
  • What score do we get for a group of fixes to single line bugs that are obvious once spotted?

    There is an implication that all AI changes add complexity and reduce quality, but it is obvious that the quality and complexity is a property of the code not the writer, so all equivalent changes should be equal no matter what the shource.

    How do clear improvements to make something simpler yet more functional score under this system?

  • Nice idea. Our new CTO brought in a tool he made for analyzing cyclomatic complexity and it’s been useful since we’re a heavily AI-forward shop.

    BTW, you can avoid your comments being flagged and killed by writing them yourself! I know it’s tempting to offshore it to AI (especially after you’ve vibe-coded a whole project) but some genuine human communication goes a long way.

  • Maybe I missed it, but it look like this has just a single metric. Maybe instead of making a new project, you could try to get this metric added to a existing tool like https://dekobon.github.io/big-code-analysis/index.html which already has dozens of metrics.
