Code reviews are the new bottleneck now that AI solved building code
“So I pointed at the channel and it's like, okay, here's a few things that I can do.”
And so now I kind of do the same thing, but Quad honestly does a lot of the work. So I pointed at the channel and it's like, okay, here's a few things that I can do. I just put up a couple PRs. Wanna take a look at that one? I'm like, yeah. Have you noticed that it is getting much better at this? Because this is kind of the holy grail. Right now, it's like, cool building solved.
Code review became kind of the next bottleneck with all these PRs. Who's gonna review them all? The next big open question is just like, okay. Now we need to now now humans are necessary for figuring out what to build, what to prioritize, and you're saying that's where cloud code is starting to help you. Is it has it gotten a lot better with, like, say, Opus 4.6? Or what's been the trajectory there?
Yeah. Yeah. It's improved a lot. I I think some of it is kind of like training that we do specific to coding.
