WHY AI WILL NEVER REPLACE HUMAN CODE REVIEW
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
AI will not fully replace human code review because humans understand context, need collaboration, and provide accountability. AI can assist with routine scanning and identifying potential issues, but it lacks the domain expertise, forward-thinking alignment, and ability to learn from experience that human reviewers possess. Also, code review serves as a valuable platform for teaching, learning, and building a shared understanding of the system for teams.
