After 610 Agent Commits in 4 Weeks, This Dev Replaced Human Code Review With Agent Reviewers

A Reddit developer argues task-by-task human-in-the-loop review doesn't hold up for coding agents.

His project saw 610 agent commits in under four weeks: 74k lines of Go plus 93k lines of tests — impossible to read with real attention, and an unread approval adds no safety.
His replacement: humans define rules/context and validate the feature; every change, including plans, goes to independent reviewer agents that talk to each other, not to him.
Evidence it works: reviewers flagged 104 of 316 tasks that had already passed their own checks.

Takeaway: code review is shifting to machine-on-machine, with humans only validating the shipped feature.
