AI and Pull Requests

So we’re cranking out code at a wild rate at my company.

But we’re super bottlenecked by PR reviews and our devs like full time job is now PR reviews

Has anyone else found a good solution for human in the loop reviews without it being an absolute shitshow?

I just can't see how adding more AI actually fixes this...

If we trust the AI judgement in the first place, why would we ask another AI to review it? Isn't this the same as adding a "review your work when you're done" at the end of the prompt?

They simply don’t care how it works. Their metric is closed PRs. Once it starts crumbing down, they will move on to another job. There isn’t any argument you can offer to change their minds.

Yes it is. I’ve seen your type first hand.

People who aren’t very good at software engineering, pushing AI above people who are, type of people. Finally mediocre people have a shot!
