CodeRemedy is a service that focuses on improving your existing codebase and eliminate technical debt. The process is very simple - you add our developers to your repository and they will go line-by-line through your code and improve it.

This is definitely an interesting project and very helpful for us, developers. My concern is that you'll have a hard time getting and retain talent. Developers are not necessary know to enjoy working on fixing someone's else code.

@360phx You're right, developers don't always like to work with someone's else code, but we have a team that loves seeing clean and organized codebase and that's what motivates them. I will not lie, we had some issues hiring people when we first started this service, but after a lot of trial and error we figured out how to attract great talent.

@360phx @cristian_sava1 How do you attract great talent? :-)

@360phx @cristian_sava1 @refuseillusion We realized pretty fast that posting on job boards and waiting for talent to show up doesn't work for us, I think we only hired one person that way. Now, most of our talent comes from recommendations, mostly referrals from our current employees. We are trying to build a great culture and offer sweet perks so that people are happy to refer friends and old colleagues to us. Paying above average also helps :). Our next move is to go to conferences and try to attract talent that way, that is, when all this pandemic is over and it's safe to do this.

Can you give an example of how exactly would your service help my company's codebase?

@alina_revencu Great question, and and softball one :) One of the best examples would be of a big problem we've noticed in a lot of codebases and which we have experience handling. Usually, a lot of code debt is incurred in components that start small and get a lot of enhancements over a short to medium period of time, enhancements built on top of another. This tends to lead to files that have 2000 lines of codes and all the logic is intertwined and any further enhancements tend to cost more and more time and create a lot of frustration. To not go into many details, we map out all the relationships in these components, see if all the logic belongs there and either split the logic into re-usable components/functions that expose an API and abstract the logic away, or move the logic up or down to the components that actually use it.

Hello ProductHunt! Today, we’re launching CodeRemedy, a service that focuses on improving your existing codebase and eliminate technical debt. We have a big team of developers that were trained for almost two years to improve codebases and they keep up to date with the best practices and latest technologies. A couple of years ago I started a software developing company. As most of the developers, we ran into a lot of legacy code, especially with big enterprise applications. Initially, we thought that this is just some bad luck or that the pressure of time made code debt accumulation a unique case for these projects, but in 2018 we saw a report from Stripe about The Developer Coefficient. In that report, Stripe said that, based on their research, the developers waste almost half of their working time (17 hours/week) on code maintenance (i.e. dealing with bad code/errors, debugging, refactoring, modifying). Just thinking about that makes one dizzy. Almost half of the developers’ time is spent working on code maintenance: not developing new features, improving the look and feel of the application, or making it more secure, but dealing with technical debt and bad code. This is when we decided to make it our mission to improve the codebase of our clients. After working with them for some time, we saw the results and they were so good that we decided to change our business model and focus mainly on that - improving the “internet’s code” and eliminate code debt from as many web products as we can. The process is very simple - you pick a plan that works for you (depending on how big the codebase is and how fast you need it to be improved) and then our developer/developers will jump right into it and start improving your code line-by-line, file by file. We will document everything and any change will be in form of a pull-request that can be reviewed by your team. This is a big day for us and we hope to get a lot of feedback from the community. Help us get rid of technical debt!
