More and more of the validation can be offloaded to AI, focus on faster feedback instead.

Wireless communication. Antibiotics. Electric motors. Lightbulbs.

Code reviews don't catch bugs, tests do. AI writes docs fine if your tests work. Juniors learn by shipping, not memorizing patterns. Stop forcing explanations. Build systems that auto-rollback and alert you. That's engineering.Understanding every line is dead. Monitoring and fast feedback matter way more.

This is the way. More tests, and creating an architecture that allows an agentic harness to quickly deliver insights should be the priority. Knowing the details of the codebase is going to become an archaic way to manage large codebases.
