"Almost anyone can prompt an LLM to generate a thousand-line patch and submit it for code review. That’s no longer valuable. What’s valuable is contributing code that is proven to work."

I'd go further: what's valuable is code review. So review the AI agent's code yourself first, ensuring not only that it's proven to work, but also that it's good quality (across various dimensions but most importantly in maintainability in future). If you're already overwhelmed by that thousand-line patch, try to create a hundred-line patch that accomplishes the same task.

I expect code review tools to also rapidly change, as lines of code written per person dramatically increase. Any good new tools already?
