The idea of a workplace where people can’t be bothered to read what the ai is coding but someone else is expected to read and understand if it’s good or slop just doesn’t really add up.

I personally see the value of code review but I promise you the most vocal vibe coders I work with don’t at all and really it feels like something that could be just automated to even me.

The age of someone gatekeeping the codebase and pushing their personal coding style foibles on the rest of the team via reviews doesn’t feels like something that will exist anymore if your ceo is big on vibe coding.

Agree that agents are definitely handling more and more of the coding side, and there's almost no doubt they will get better slop-wise.

In our view, even vibe coders should understand how the codebase works, and we think review is a natural place to pause and make sure you know what you and your coworkers are shipping. And we should have tools to reduce the mental load as much as possible.

Do you think there's a problem of cognitive debt among your coworkers who aren't reading the code or reviewing PRs?
