Engineer reviews 20 agent-written PRs a day: 'I didn't sign up to be a full-time proofreader'

A Reddit engineer describes AI-era review burnout: he reviews 20 PRs a day that nobody on his team actually wrote — the agent wrote the code, CodeRabbit commented, the author skimmed and pasted comments back, leaving him as the human checkbox. He doesn't fear losing his job, he's just tired of being a full-time proofreader for code nobody will remember making.
