Ask HN: Does a human still review your code?

>>> each PR gets reviewed by more than 3 people

How does this work exactly -this is your current workflow? Which tools are you using . I assume you mean your human reviewers are using ai tools interactively and deciding which fixes the tools propose will be implemented ?

Generally, I'll review any code I generate with AI myself before publishing it. I often find it interesting to try and extend these projects myself without the help of AI in general, and the results Claude spits out are usually unoptimal, so it only makes sense to me.

I personally review most of the code written by my team without using an LLM.

Just today I reviewed a patch made by a teammate using Claude for a not very significant bug, where in addition to fixing it (in a very roundabout way), it introduced 2 new very subtle bugs, and refactored a large portion of another function that was unrelated to the code, and made several observations and comments which were subtly wrong and out of touch with the rest of the code.

I ended up rejecting the PR and writing my own very small local patch for the bug.

Other people in the team use Claude to help them review my own PRs, and it sometimes finds minor issues, although there was only a single time it found a major issue.

My own use of LLMs is mostly to develop large features, which I then thoroughly review myself.
