AI Coding Shifted the Bottleneck to Reviewing: Do You Read the Plan or the Diff?
Live-Performer7535 · reddit · 2026-09-22
A Reddit dev describes how AI coding moved the bottleneck to review: the agent writes great code until it suddenly hallucinates functions. What helped: making the agent write a plan first and reviewing that instead of 200-line diffs, plus routing doc fetches through context7 to avoid stale cached docs. Discussion on whether others review plans, diffs, or both.
