Was dead set against AI code review tools, now I use one daily

For like 6 months I refused to try any AI reviewer for my Python work. Figured it would just flag style stuff I didn't care about. Then last Tuesday I ran one on a 400 line script and it caught a race condition that slipped past two human reviews. Now I run it before every merge. Has anyone else had a tool they hated actually earn its spot?

That race condition thing is exactly what sold me too. I was the same way, thought it was all just pep talk about line length and unused imports. Then it flagged a subtle issue with my database cursor timing that wouldve bit me hard in production. Still get annoyed by some of its suggestions honestly, they feel like a coworker who just learned about classes yesterday. But man, when it catches something like that, you kind of have to eat your words. Glad youre having the same experience.
