What’s not clear to me is how agents/AI written code solves the “half hearted review” problem.

People don’t like to do code reviews because it sucks. It’s tedious and boring.

I genuinely hope that we’re not giving up the fun parts of software, writing code, and in exchange getting a mountain of code to read and review instead.




Yes, this is what I'm fearing as well.

That we will end up just trying to review code, writing tests and some kind of specifications in natural language (which is very imprecise)

However, I can't see how this approach would ever scale to a larger project.


This is an attempt to change software development from a put out system to a factory system.

It seems to be working sadly. If people hated agile, just wait for the prompt/code review sweatshops.
