> I think if there is a major change in code review culture, it's not going to happen first in established engineering teams. It'll happen in startups that adopt a no-human-review policy from jump and then maintain it as they mature.
I've been hearing this for more than a year. But if these startups are all moving at superhuman speed, a month instead of a year from idea to a shipping product, where are the products? Every time I ask that, people talk about the amazing velocity gains they experience for the thing they are about to ship. It never does, unless we count throwaway hobby projects at GitHub - by that metric, AI is adding a lot of software. And I guess never-downloaded slop-games on mobile app stores.
But if you actually go shopping for consumer or enterprise software that's camera-ready, the landscape is basically the same as in 2022.
