Code Review in the Age of AI

The article discusses how AI has transformed code review practices. AI has made the burden of proof explicit, requiring evidence like manual verification and automated tests to ship changes. Solo developers rely on automation to keep up with AI speed, while teams use review for risk, intent, and accountability. AI excels at drafting features but falters on logic, security, and edge cases, making errors 75% more common in logic alone. The challenge is to balance the speed of AI with the need for human verification. The workflow and mindset differ dramatically depending on whether you’re solo or working in a team where others maintain your code.
