Ask HN: Does a human still review your code?

A Hacker News user reports that AI code review tools, specifically Claude's /review and /code-review, now perform more thorough code reviews than human reviewers, leading their small company team to rely largely on automated review. The user asks whether others who use AI for most code writing still keep a human in the loop beyond spot checks.

| |||||||||||| 1 point by | Most of the code I work on is for internal company use at a small company and for personal projects. After experiencing painful code review processes where code was rewritten several times for what many times felt like arbitrary reasons to fit someone’s idea of a best practice, I am now on a team where code review is largely automated. I find Claude’s /review and /code-review are invaluable and do a more thorough code review than any human . For those of you who use AI to write the majority of your code, do you still have a human in the loop to do more than spot checks ? | ||||||||||| |
