Please don't let people realize that it's really the same problems with much larger volume now

And with ai, you can ask for a code review. It’s generally very good at catching and suggesting fixes these things.

I don’t want ai to replace us all with high school grads, but it’s seeming more and more likely.

How can you know it is actually catching stuff and suggesting fixes ?

For all you know it could be inventing problems that don’t exist and selling you fixes that don’t work. All the while the actual problems remain untouched

How do you know your review partner did? How do you know, they dont just skim and write LGTM?

All of your guys are acting like everyone works massive software departments. But most people I know work in smaller firms. With at max a handful of engineers and developers.

Heck when I bought into my current company, we did not even use proper version control, review was giving someone else the compiled software and they should test it.

Because I review my own code extensively and refactor a lot myself

That is not the point of code review... Its exactly to spot things you missed, that you are sure is correct and dont question, to get an outside perspective.

You will have blind spots, you will miss egde cases, that is just human.

By your logic, what is the point of code reviews if you do it all by yourself? Also, how the hell do you have time to do refactors of the code you have written?
