alt Hacker NewsLLM's are good at some types of reviews and awful at others. They generally tend to overcomplicate things and miss opportunities to simplify. They pretty much have to take pre-existing code and tests as gospel and cannot distinguish which is buggy, incomplete, unimportant or important. They have no knowledge of unwritten business requirements, customer preferences, et cetera so high level review is always necessary.
Yeah ok but that’s what I have. I have the knowledge of unwritten business requirements and customer preferences.
My knowledge + Claude is much better than just my knowledge.
I don’t know why it is considered strange to use both tools (my knowledge plus Claude) to make reviews go quicker. In fact it is highly dogmatic to not use Claude while reviewing.
