> If getting people to review code is that hard that seems like a problem for our new AI age. AI coding appears to rely on getting people to review a lot code and assumes those people will catch the errors.
This is precisely what many of us have been repeating incessantly, for ages now. AI is boosting the wrong part of the ecosystem. It only makes the existent bottlenecks more painful.
Many maintainers get exhausted by code reviews, and recharge themselves through coding. The latter is what AI takes away. It demotes engineers to "AI slop reviewers". I don't know why anybody would sign up for that; IMO it leads to immediate burnout.
