code review is such a weird phenomenon. it’s only quite recently that we’ve started expecting all code to be reviewed outside of regulated environments, nobody can agree on the purpose of code review (accountability, knowledge sharing, catching bugs?), there’s no clear standard for rigor…

i saw a quote to the effect of “it’s not fair that someone can produce ai slop with almost no effort and expect me to spend my afternoon reviewing it” but … *do* they expect that? if you asked them i would guess that they expect you to spend a few minutes at most checking if it looks totally insane
