alt Hacker NewsI think this is more a symptom of the problem than the actual problem.
The issue is that we can generate tons of code using AI, but then are blocked on having humans review all of it.
I don’t think we should auto-approve all of this code without human review - that clearly doesn’t work either.
What I do think we need is probably at least two-fold 1) better ways to explain these big PRs to human reviewers. 2) better ways to verify the functionality of a piece of code. Things like auto generating walkthrough videos
I’m not sure that even this is enough. I’m sure there will be agents that try to solve this problem.

Or people could stop using LLMs to generate huge swaths of code, and companies could discipline those who refuse to stop. It's providing negative value at this point.

I'm trying to write this with respect, but please explain your thought process here.
If your PR description is a video instead of a written explanation, I'm rejecting it without even reading the code.
