How to Kill the Code Review — Ankit Jain, Aviator
Ankit Jain from Aviator argues that code review is already dead — over 30 percent of code changes pass through without review, and when AI writes the code and AI reviews it, humans merely go through the thread and approve.
The problem, according to him, is that code review was never just about finding bugs; it was also knowledge sharing, mentorship, and feedback on system design. His solution is to capture the decisions made when writing instructions to AI, turn them into acceptance criteria, build a registry from previous review comments, and generate test plans that run against pre-reviews instead of just reviewing code differences.
