CODE REVIEW AS HUMAN ALIGNMENT, IN THE ERA OF LLMS

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Code review within teams should change to be primarily a human alignment mechanism.

Humans can collectively maintain a shared vision of what the system should do. Code review should reconfigure itself around this purpose.
