I think the best way to do code reviews now is to do:
1) Will it break anything else reviews
2) Will it actually work reviews
And in priority order. Anything else is futile, if you want to keep up with the onslaught of PRs.
They’re saying AI will replace me. But tbh I can’t wait for it to replace me so I can sit back on a beach somewhere.
But so far all it’s done is make me work harder. And it feels like there is an infinite amount of ideas to explore. Claude give me a day off please.
I think the reason this went so viral is because it’s a conflict of interest.
They give you the slop, then they charge you a lot for the slop fixer.
Yes, engineers reviewed code too but at least humans are incentivized not to waste time. Now claude incentivized to burn tokens.
@GergelyOrosz Everything has tradeoffs, no real free lunch in tech.
But imo, trading off some uptime for speed is an advantage for them given how fiercely competitive things are. Not many can do it well.
Compared to open ai they’re the underdog. To get a crazy outcome gotta do crazy things
The equivalent of the industrial revolution for software engineering is upon us.
With all these AI agents, we’re no longer workers, we’re now factory owners.
But Factories perform best when we can conform things enough to fit their molds.
Almost any software that does not work well with AI agents, is not going to make it.
I’m using a lot of tools with tons of UI, all of it will either have to be rewritten to be agent friendly, or it’s dead. For a lot of it too, slapping some MCP on it won’t be enough either.
And a lot of ppl may not want to hear this but that old rule “the best UI/UX is no UI” is true for a reason.
And it’s clear to me now, agents are going to wreck through UI heavy tools
