I review more thoroughly and faster with Claude than without.

Claude absolutely improves code review quality, but it still misses a lot. It's a second pair of eyes, it doesn't replace/remove the work you have to put in to fully review the code yourself.

It's like saying that you code reviewed faster just because someone else also reviewed the code, that's not how it works.

I'm faster, sure, but more thorough, no. The same, because I was already very careful. But it's not a massive win either; 4.7 misses too much still because it would need to read too much of the context each time to understand the architectural problems I'm catching.

Its nice to not have to care about nits and other things that we don't have lints for though, so that's useful.
