Every so often I go read code that's shipped in our platform. Not to review it (that ship has already sailed)...just to see where the system is drifting.
Lately I've been finding a lot of issues. Not nitpicks or code style issues. I mean infrastructure and functional problems that are hurting how our application performs and how far it can scale.
After sitting and thinking on this (and doing some reading), I don't think my team got sloppy. If anything, they got better at code review...
What actually happened
When coding agents landed in our workflow, the volume shot up almost immediately. Every engineer on my team works with one or more agents throughout the day now, and the majority of the code going into our platform is generated that way.
