Why did you choose Sider?
We struggled to solve two problems.
1) An increasing load of code review
When reviewers overlook a bug, they become more careful to not overlook that kind of issue again. The increased cost of code review finally delays product improvements.
The problem is this happens on exceptionally rare issues too, which reviewers tend to overlook. The increased review cost is spent for checking such rare issues but helps product development only marginally. The reward for increased time investment in manual code review is quite low.
2) Training cost growth
When a new member joins the development team, training is needed to get them up to speed. The more the team grows, the more the cost of training grows as well.
For these solutions, we decided to use Sider.
