> Even before slop coding good code review was hard, because verification is a hard problem. But we have many tools at our disposal to increase confidence without having to go full-on mathematical proof. Human understanding has always been the bottleneck, and as long as the thing you are doing is for humans, humans will have good reasons to want to understand it, so they will remain the bottleneck.

When people rally agains AI, that is why. AI hypers think it’s about the actual coding. It is not. It’s about the understanding and what you built is logically sound, conceptually and concretely. The code aspect matters only for maintenance sake and verifying the logical structure.

Which is why good devs are burning out on this. The PR authors don’t care, management don’t care, so to not be between a rock and an hard place, you just LGTM the review. And then users are suffering with insane bugs.
