Human-written code died in 2025. Code reviews will die in 2026.
A couple of months ago @swyx from @latentspacepod published my take that the traditional code review is dead (https://lnkd.in/g-S7iZeJ)
A lot of people had thoughts on that — some agreed, and some pushed back. If the topic is still rattling around in your head, or you want to hear where I think this actually goes from here, I’ll be speaking at @aiDotEngineer
Come if you want to hear how I see code reviews evolving and a practical verification model that lets engineering teams ship faster without sacrificing quality or control. https://lnkd.in/ggqcygBw
