What people are saying Observed

“I've done technical due diligence on acquisitions for years at Amazon. This is typically a very time consuming process, taking weeks to months of back and forth with technical interviews with engineers and poring through code and architecture. With borehole.dev, I've created a tool that automates quite a bit of the due diligence process using source control (GitHub, Gitlab, and more). The result is a deep report that helps a buyer understand the risks of the technology they are considering acquiring. Or if you are considering selling your company, you can run a report to anticipate the things a buyer might look at in the process of selling. There is no AI involved in the checks, it's 100% code analysis and no model writes the reports. It's free for public repositories! We do charge for private repos but it's just launched and I'm giving away 20 free codes for private repos as long as you agree to take a short survey when you are done. The first 20 people who email support@borehole.dev with "HN beta" get a free Report key for their own private repository. Would love feedback and thoughts from the HN community.
