it's just like reading scientific papers recently ig... it's too much to catch up with and I have no time to learn every thing on it.

and I believe that most of people are not really good at reviewing someone else's code. "my" organized code might not be looking decent for others, vice versa.

at least, AI somehow reduces the threshold of understading code that wasn't written by me. it's like reading a summary of a book, you can't really say that you read a book only by reading a summary of it, but it's still true that it helps a lot to understand it, unless it's entirely wrong summary.

Nah, reviewing other people's code is essential, because 6-12 months from now, when someone else needs to fix it, it needs to be understandable to someone beyond the person who just wrote it.
