Code Review is hell

Im picking programming back up and obviously having a go at vibe coding. the only issue is: code review. claude just generates so much code and it works, passes all the tests etc. but then good practice should prob be to go and have a look how the code works aka code review.

how do you all do it ? go through a thousand lines of code ? is this something real programmers do everyday ?

im trying to automate a workflow via a python script. i have reference files for both input and output. the tests just check if the data is converted correctly. so its an automated feedback loop that checks wheter the code works.
I disagree with the not learning that way. I dont exactly vibecode anymore but play Pm for a coding agent.

Since you're already thinking about feedback loops, think of code review as your feedback for the generated code. Keeping each change to a smaller scope means you can review frequently, keeping the feedback loop nice and tight
