Addy Osmani: line-by-line code review is dying — the winning teams know what's worth reading
rseroter · x · 2026-10-01
Addy Osmani revises his two-year-old advice to review every AI-generated line: once there's another reason to trust code, industries will stop line-by-line reading. The winning team isn't the one that reads nothing, but the one that knows what's worth reading. He cites Teleport's audit — 13 engineers with frontier models found 2x the high-severity bugs of the prior two years in one quarter — noting discovery got cheap while triage didn't. Review as accountability survives; reading every line doesn't.
