Sadly review isn't enough. I just today I found some code that I reviewed 2 months where the developer clearly used an agent to generate the code and I completely missed some really dumb garbage the agent put in. The agent took a simple function that returns an object with some data and turned it into a mess that required multiple mocks in the tests (also generated by the agent).
The dev is a junior and a clear example of what is to come, inexperienced people thinking coding is getting an agent to get something to pass CI.
The tech debt is accelerating exponentially!
