Write code however you like. Use AI, use 10 parallel agents, write it by hand. I don't care. But this idea that because we can write code faster, we should lower the bar for merging it? That doesn't make any sense.
I guarantee you, spending 10-15 minutes actually reviewing your co-worker's PR is worth it. Not just in the context of that single change, but more so for your rapidly evolving codebase that's adding tens of thousands of lines of code each day. Hear me out:
Don't say LGTM if you didn't look
We've all seen it. A 500-line PR getting a LGTM within 2 mins. Nobody actually read it, but it's now a part of your codebase. Which means the next time you use an AI tool, this is the code that it is going to refer to.
This leads to the classic "Broken Windows Problem": poor quality code keeps piling up, AI tools refer to the same mess (which makes the newly written code, you guessed it, also s**t)
