A lead developer with eight years of experience is questioning traditional code review practices due to the increasing speed and capability of AI coding assistants like Claude Code. The developer notes that AI can produce code faster than they can review it, leading to a conflict with their long-standing rule of never merging code without human review. They highlight Fabien Potencier's use of AI in developing Symfony Language Tools, where AI wrote and reviewed the majority of the code, with human oversight focused on architecture and final decisions.
