Uncle Bob says he no longer reads all the code his agents write
Uncle Bob Martin says his current strategy is not to read every line of code produced by his coding agents.
The comment highlights a growing shift in how experienced developers think about AI-generated code: the bottleneck is moving from writing code to supervising, validating, and constraining agent output. It also raises the practical question of how much of an agent’s work a human can safely trust without review.
