I want to preface this by saying that this question pops up from time to time. I wanted to ask this in the context of handling large influxes of of LLM generated pull requests. We get enough PR requests per day that if our team spent most of the day just reviewing code and not writing any ourselves we'd never get through our backlog. Many of them are blocked due to CI/CD issues where fixing them would also dismiss any approval and require us to review multiple times. Overall the quality is low to middling.

Because our teams attention is so much in demand and because our workloads have only grown I wanted to pitch a formal code standards and pull request code of conduct that we can point to. Ideally i'd like to put my team in a place where we can be strict about what code goes in and why we say no and for it to be a very fast manual process or something we can automate away.

We've tried pull request templates but bots and devs a like tend to ignore them. Eventually i'd like to make strict adherence to the template a requirement to get any attention at all.

I've been working on some renovations on an old house built in the 1970s. It has no HVAC, only window mounted ACs for some rooms. The temps in the summer make most of the house uninhabitable, we regularly crack over 90f in the interior living space and each wall unit eats up about 50-60 USD a month to cool a room. You can actually feel the veins in the muscles of your cheeks dilate as the radiating heat makes contact with your skin in some rooms.

I have two projects in flight that i'm trying to get a little advice on.

• Roof insulation, currently the ceilings radiate heat at 90f the roof space is easily spiking to 140f+, i'm sure the old insulation is R19. I'm trying to get some feedback on ways to insulate and get that heat off us. I've been planning to blow in loose cellulose insulation to bring that R value up. Would adding in any active venting just introduce humidity and mold given the humidity is often 50%+ here? The house currently only has gable vents, the construction makes it kind of tough to put in soffit vents so that space is often boiling hot. I was thinking those old whirlybird vents might work here for the roof venting if active was out of the question. I was also considering a light reflective roof paint like Tropico 887 (or the acrylic variant for the pitched portions of the roof) but given the cost of the material i'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze there.

• Wall insulation, i'm trying to find the best way to insulate the exterior facing walls to keep the heat off starting with a room on the south west corner. This entire portion of the house was framed with 2x4s instead of the more modern 2x6 The walls also often radiate heat at 90f in the late afternoon. The house has a stucco exterior so I can't rip that off. I'm at a loss for what to do here. With the space available R-15 would be the best I can get but that's absolutely pitiful in this climate. Any active AC system would have to fight against two wall sized radiators glowing at 90f.
