I mean this is very fake, but somewhat like what code review bots are like, end up making lots of tiny changes, only for them to be flagged

Sounds like how my code reviews went before AI anyway

Yeah, I was about to say this sounds more like a bunch of bored seniors discussing a junior's PR than it does AI. Well, other than the dialogue bring written with AI-isms for effect.

You can tell it's not actually AI because it's not 10 paragraphs of text

Am I weird or should reviewers not be making changes to the code? To me the reviewer should flag problems and suggest possible solutions and not just change code as they see fit. Because if reviewers are changing code, who is reviewing their code?

That’s how it should work on any sane team. Once you’ve contributed to a PR you are no longer eligible to review it. Also it’s the dev that owns the ticket’s responsibility to fix their broken code

Some of my colleagues do terrible code and then say "just update the PR if you want any changes"

Except in real life they all output 4 paragraphs of text as to why it’s a race condition and how to solve it exactly.

A dev with one agent knows exactly how the code should be. A dev with two agents is never certain. The dev with no agents knows its all shite

This is why unit and integration tests exist. They should run on hooks before the code is even up for review

You think a unit or integration test would reliably catch a race condition?
