A developer notes that while Claude Code dramatically speeds up code implementation, code review is becoming the new bottleneck. The core challenge is ensuring system fit while preserving the speed advantage.
The author's current practices:
- Focus reviews on intent, boundaries, and risk paths
- Apply lightweight review to repetitive implementation details
- Believes the review workflow around AI-generated code will become more important than prompt engineering itself.
