Code review in the age of AI
LLMs have made writing code faster than ever. However, one new problem that has emerged is the bottleneck caused by code review.
Generating thousands of lines of code now takes just a few minutes. The problem is that someone still has to read, understand, and evaluate that code. In my latest Substack article, I discuss:
- why code review has become a greater challenge than ever before,
- what can be done to mitigate the problem of the rapidly growing volume of code to review,
- when you might consider doing away with mandatory code review, and what conditions should be met in that case.
If your project uses Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or other AI assistants daily, this problem likely affects you as well.
