Parable of the mechanic who charges $5k to hit a machine on the side once with a hammer to get it working. $5 for the hammer, $4995 for the knowledge of where to hit the machine etc etc.
replyI disagree. The amount of slop I need to code review has only increased, and the quality of the models doesn’t seem to be helping.
replyIt still takes a good engineer to filter out what is slop and what isn’t. Ultimately that human problem will still require somebody to say no.
Is anyone really reviewing code anymore though? It sounds like you are, but where I work its pretty much just scan the PR as a symbolic gesture and then hit approve. There's too much to review, to frequently.
