I suppose we are working on different problems.

In my own experience I cannot blindly accept code without even looking at it even for a few moments because I've had many situations where the code was simply doing the wrong things... including tests are completely wrong and testing the wrong assumptions.

So yah, even when I review trivial changes I still look at the diff view to see if it makes sense. And IDEs make code review a lot easier than diff.

Btw, this experience is not from lack of trying. We use coding agent extensively (I would assume more than the typical org looking at our bill) and while they are certainly very, very helpful and I cannot describe how much effort they are really saving us, there is absolutely zero chance of pushing something out without reviewing it first - same applies for code written by AI agent or a coworker.
