I love when people on HN think they're special or do more "real" software engineering.

Basically every big tech company maintains "codebases with millions of lines built upon decades." Talk to your friends at a FAANG and ask them how they're using Claude/Codex.

Merging after reading the PR description is just how it's done these days, and if you can't do it reliably, your harness, devloop, or model is simply behind the times.

But you're doing the same with your "how it's done these days".

These days things are done in many contradicting ways, and it probably will take at least a few years to settle on common normal.
