> I think senior engineers find it very difficult to give up on line-by-line review, no matter how much better the agents have gotten.
Interesting framing that casts senior engineers as the impediment. If the models are now good enough now, perhaps engineering leadership could[1] do away with code review entirely - or maximally automate code reviews. I'm sure seniors would love to get their individual productivity unleashed for performance metrics/bonus reasons.
1. I'm stating this as a hypothetical, but this "vibe-coding your core product" experiment has been repeated many times and I'm yet to hear a single success story
