👨🏻‍🍳 How it Works

You get a set number of “units” per month (see plan tiers below).

Units do not roll over — unused units expire at the end of each month.


Each unit covers either:

  • A pull request review (up to 500 lines of code)

  • A precise question (one topic only)


✅ Three submission options

  • Option A: Share repository access

    Grant me read access (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) and send a PR link — I’ll review directly in context.

  • Option B: Send code manually

    If repo access isn’t possible, extract the relevant code (max ~500 lines of code), add context, and send it as an archive.

  • Option C: Just send a question by email

    No code? No problem. Describe your problem or doubt in detail — one precise question per email.


📋 Requirements

  • One topic per unit — Please keep questions focused.

  • Be specific — Vague questions get vague answers.

  • Code reviews capped at ~500 lines to ensure quality.

  • Response time: under 48h (business days).


📊 Track Your Usage

You’ll get access to a shared Google Sheet where you can track how many units you’ve used and what’s left for the month.

Simple, transparent, and updated in real-time.


🧂 Examples

  • ✅ “Can you review this PR that refactors the data fetching layer?”

  • ✅ “Does this architecture make sense for scaling and keeping code maintainable?”

  • ✅ “Here’s a PR introducing a testing utility — is it too coupled to our framework?”

  • ✅ “How would you decouple this test from implementation details?”

  • ❌ “Here’s our whole app — thoughts?”

  • ❌ “Three unrelated questions, attached below.”
