AI hasn't shifted the bottleneck from coding to code review

Industry news•

What happened

A recent article challenges the idea that AI has solved the bottleneck in software development, specifically the time-consuming process of code review. The article argues that while AI can assist with code review, it has not eliminated the need for human oversight and feedback. This means that developers still need to dedicate time to reviewing and refining code.

Why it matters

This finding suggests that the AI industry's focus on automating code review may be misplaced, and that more attention should be paid to other areas of software development that could be improved with AI assistance.
