True! Devin Review doesn’t make the kind of judgements you mention, it just does its best to find bugs and help you understand the code faster. I managed to review a PR on an airplane (without starlink) with it earlier this week lol

Yeah, I wasn’t alluding to Devin reviewing and merging the changelog. This was more of a general statement, since a lot of code review tools seem to get this part wrong.

A lot of energy is being spent on making reviews faster, when reviews are intentionally meant to scale sublinearly. The goal should be: how can we make the process more convenient and less error-prone?
