CODE REVIEW IN THE AGE OF AI
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
AI has increased code generation speed but has made code verification more critical, with over 30% of senior developers now shipping mostly AI-generated code that contains 75% more logic errors and 45% security flaws compared to human-written code. Solo developers can move at "inference speed" by relying heavily on automated testing (>70% coverage) as safety nets, while teams still require human code review for context, security, and knowledge transfer.
