> The question is, how do you become the person who can effectively review AI code without actually writing code without an AI? I'd argue you basically can't.

I agree, and I'd go a step further:

You can be the absolute best coder in the world, the fastest and most accurate code reviewer ever to live, and AI still produces bad code so much faster than you can review that it will become a liability eventually no matter what

There is no amount of "LLM in a loop" "use a swarm of agents" or any other current trickery that fixes this because eventually some human needs to read and understand the code. All of it.

Any attempt to avoid reading and understanding the code means you have absolutely left the realm of quality software, no exceptions
