Developer builds AI code review gate based on human time cost

A developer has devised a new method for reviewing code changes generated by AI agents, moving away from reading every line to a time-based risk assessment. This approach, tested on a .NET repository, aims to quantify the human minutes required for different types of code reviews. The developer was inspired by a post from Anthropic detailing their code review practices, which focused on optimizing human time and using revert rates as a key performance indicator. AI

IMPACT Offers a novel approach for developers to manage AI-generated code, potentially improving efficiency and reducing review fatigue.
