Konwinski is right that the bottleneck has shifted, but framing it as purely a process problem understates the hard part: verification. If nobody reads the code, review doesn't disappear — it migrates into test suites, CI gates and on-call accountability, and most orgs haven't built that muscle yet. There's also some survivorship bias here: agents shine in greenfield, well-tested codebases and still wobble on the legacy systems where most enterprises actually live. Still, the direction is clear — teams that redesign their dev loop around agent output will compound faster than those defending human review as a ritual. Expect the next phase of this debate to be about trust infrastructure, not model quality.
software engineers don't need to read or write code as part of their core dev loop any more. no more human code reviews
most eng orgs are still holding out. at this point it's not a matter of agent capability. it's the human processes holding them back
