Code Review
summary
Comparison of two code-analysis tools, Code Climate and CodeScene, using a forked Astro repository. Presents concrete results: 1.4k files scanned, one function flagged at 133 lines vs recommended 25, Next.js showing ~10–13× more technical debt than Astro, a broken Babel plugin, duplicate-code clusters, author-hotspots and a simulation of risk if a maintainer leaves; argues these tools produce actionable hotspots rather than vague advice.
