Ask HN: Does a human still review your code?

2•stikit•52m ago
Most of the code I work on is for internal company use at a small company and for personal projects. After experiencing painful code review processes where code was rewritten several times for what many times felt like arbitrary reasons to fit someone’s idea of a best practice, I am now on a team where code review is largely automated. I find Claude’s /review and /code-review are invaluable and do a more thorough code review than any human . For those of you who use AI to write the majority of your code, do you still have a human in the loop to do more than spot checks ?

I wonder how codebases for important products (not demos or short-living ones) end up without anyone reviewing the code. Some claim engineers should become more of "architects" and "designers", but not coders/reviewers anymore. Wish to hear people's stories, if much documentation and reviewing from the high-level only is enough to keep the project from becoming a failure

If someone’s best practice,optimization or security check is that important, automate it. Automation is more scalable and consistent . It would make more sense to me to build purpose built agents to look for any patterns that matter. Yes, humans are needed to sanity check and design the agents and rules. Combine that with a well designed build and test harness , human code review seems to me to be obsolete.

Nope. I occasionally do human review of my own code and very occasionally of other peoples', but for the most part it's all 100% automated. I use Codex's Github code review integration and it does a pretty decent job of spotting P1's and P2's.

No code review here. I tried to make it a regular part of my work flow but, it didn't last. That being said, I'm a retired developer and everything I build are personal projects so the stakes are lower than for working developers. I retired just a year or two before AI coding agents came into existence so I never experienced using these tools in an actual workplace setting. Working must have a whole different vibe these days
