ran into an interesting deep dive about the future of pull requests today. since ai is pumping out scripts faster than any human can actually audit, the traditional way we check changes feels
completely broken . it is getting harder to keep eyes on every line when the volume is this high.
> devs are drowning in automated diffsthe whole concept of a peer review might have to shift toward something more automated or we just stop catching errors entirely.
it is basically a race to see if our oversight can scale with the output . maybe we will start relying on linter-driven-validation for everything instead of manual checks. manual review is becoming a bottleneck for anyone trying to ship fast. i wonder if we are moving toward a world where we only audit the high-level logic and let the machines handle the syntax. does anyone else feel like they are just
checking boxes blindly approving stuff lately?
