Of course the author of a merge/pull request should use all available tools to get it in shape before someone else looks at it. The author is the first reviewer. This was true before AI. Besides that I'm team line-by-line, how else can I make sure the software does the right thing?

1/6 Developers are deeply divided over whether human code review is still necessary. Exaggerating slightly: one side accuses the other of abandoning code quality and blindly trusting AI. The counter is that line-by-line review simply throttles AI back down to human speed. 🐢
