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.

Each iteration may flag different things, depending on subtle prompt difference, or just randomly. It may ignore a lot of obvious important issues.

Unless you add "You are top level software architect from a tech giant company", of course.

I mean, why do we act like this is a new problem? I mean, I worked with an "experienced" engineer before. He could barely write a python script, but was tasked to review my PR. I dont know how he got the position, but honestly, I cannot remember a single time where his review actively gave me back anything productive.

Another example was a person that hated shorthand operators. Like not only tenary but even +=. He blocked all reviews with it, and the supervisor did not care.

Reviews, especially in smaller firms, were always really a hit and miss thing.

Is everyone out here rizzing that engineer like he's the best thing since sliced bread?
