How long before we stop reading the code?

Shift human review from code to intent, specifications, and acceptance criteria.
Code review is a bottleneck due to AI generating code faster than humans can review.
Using AI to review AI-generated code is flawed due to non-determinism, missing intent, and shared blind spots.
Codify review feedback into deterministic checks via AST analysis and execution tests.
Most review comments can be automated; only a quarter require genuine human judgment.
Implement intent-driven verification to ensure solutions align with defined problems and constraints.
Use LLMs as scoped fallbacks for judgment-based reviews, not primary checks.
Aviator's Verify system exemplifies replacing code reviews with verified intent.
Teams should analyze past review comments to identify automatable checks and prioritize guardrail development.
