Brenden
CTO in residence
from Belgium 🇧🇪
Peter, who stands at a height of 194cm (6"4), could have played in the NBA but chose to follow his true passion and became a software developer.
Starting out as a software developer, in the course of the years he helped develop software in all kinds of domains: from steel factories to speed pedelecs. These days he is a CTO and adheres to these clichés: showing up is half the battle, one small step at a time and not choosing is still a choice. In his free time you can find him on the basketball court or DIYing smart home projects. Although the DIY sometimes becomes DIWHY...
What is the best advice you would give to someone just starting out in your field?
Don't hold back asking questions even if they feel obvious or dumb. Somebody else is thinking them anyway but is too embarrassed to bring them up.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Getting my kids to listen the first time when I ask them to do something. ;-)

Why I switched from BugBot to Claude for code reviews
I switched from Cursor's BugBot ($40/month) to Claude Code for code reviews. Setup is straightforward in VS Code, and Claude's bug detection has been notably better. While it still flags null reference checks like most AI reviewers, the difference in catching actual bugs is significant.
Automatic pull request reviewing with Cursor's Bugbot
Pull requests are invaluable for sharing knowledge and improving code quality, but in small teams reviews often get rushed or skipped. AI reviewers like Cursor’s Bugbot step in to bridge the gap. For teams short on review capacity, it can add meaningful value.
