didnt the article say thay engineers still review change requests? They just switched from reviewing code to reviewing intent.

So "no direct human supervision" seems like a misunderstanding. Article even bigs up the purpose of engineers with a hilarious (to me at least) line about auto adversial reviews resulting in over engineered designs.

Good point, I wasn't clear enough about my thoughts here. I tried to say that in a multiple commits/s world the review might not be direct line/hunk review of the code but a more "indirect", abstracted or higher level human oversight, which is how I understand an intent review is.

I'm not saying that Anthropic here close their eyes and tell Claude to ship and that in the future there will be no code review at all, but that if we have 30K merges/day, human review seems to need to be done at some higher level, likely AI assisted like it seems to be done with their Antique code review tool mentioned in the post.
