Kinda still your point, but if you have one engineer producing 1M SLOC, how many do you have for code review?

I hate how everyone nowadays is acting like reviews are not important. Actual oversight over codebase is way less important than shipping random code. Which is insane.

GitHub Copilot performs PR reviews now doesn't it

[–] msage@programming.dev 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's exactly what we need.

LLM producing the code

LLM approving the change

LLM agent pushing to prod

Then wonder why the users are gone

Replace users with LLMs too.

It's not great.

it is not much better than just running a linter over your code.
