THE AI ANGLE
Automating code generation and disrupting traditional code review pipelinesThe piece highlights an ongoing debate over whether software pipelines can address the disruptions caused by AI in code review, with experts disagreeing on what mechanisms should replace traditional practices. With coding agents like Devin, Cursor, and Greptile generating code, conventional merge gates are becoming liabilities, shifting the focus toward agent runtime verification.
