I also think we're going to see a resurgence of either pair programming, or the buddy system where both engineers take responsibility for the prompting and review and each commit has 2 authors. I actually wrote a post on this subject on my blog yesterday, so I'm happy to see other people saying it too. I've worked on 2-engineer projects recently and it's been way smoother than larger projects. It's just so obvious that asynchronous review cycles are way too slow nowadays, and we're DDoSing our project leaders who have to take responsibility for engineering outcomes.

For anything complicated or wide in scope, we've found it much more productive to just hop on a call and pair.
