Very interesting takes from @thdxr in this interview.  A lot has been hashed out by others all over the place, but a hot take here is that code quality is higher than ever right now.  Codebases are becoming more consistent than ever.   If you are not starting with a good consistent base from the start you are poising your context and doomed to fail and have all the common failures of ai written code.  He still reads almost every PR, and will read all of the code eventually.  There are a few cases where reading the PR is not worthwhile only when its low stakes, knows that good patterns have been established and followed.  He argues that someone needs to be the expert of the code and of the product still and fears that too many people not looking at prs will fail companies.
