Got so bad at reviewing code that I built my own code review up-skilling platform

Revision en1, by smokescreen, 2026-04-18 21:07:29

For background, I'm a software engineer with 5+ YOE. I recently noticed that I've got bad at coding. Upon thinking, I found out that it's because of me using Claude Code / Cursor; I've lost touch with coding, I've only become outcome obsessed.

That's still fine, the problem is that when my juniors give me a PR to review, I get blank. This didn't use to happen earlier, but because I've lost touch with coding because of these AI tools, I can't think of much. And honestly small PRs are fine, but the big ones, oh I almost die thrice reviewing them.

So, I thought that there should be a platform for building your code review skills (similar to how we have codeforces/leetcode and all for DSA skills).

It's called HolyNit(I'm so proud of this name XD). https://holynit.com/ — go check it out and leave some feedback here. Feel free to reach out for more free credits. I'm dying to get some people to try it out.

If you want to contribute to some awesome challenges, then you're welcome as well!
