The Death of the Code Review: What the Data Actually Says — Laurie Voss, Arize AI

Review isn't disappearing; the unit of human review is moving from the diff to the definition of good. Every no-human showcase, from OpenAI's roughly 1M lines and 1,500 merged PRs with three engineers to Bun's 6-day Rust port, had humans authoring the verifier, and the Bun port still carries 13,044 unsafe blocks against about 74 in comparable human code. Whoever codifies mergeability into rubrics and evals sets what agents treat as done.

Redesigning source control at Anthropic

Anthropic's merge queue stopped working once merged changes went from about 2,500 a day in May to over 30,000 in September, so the gate moved to post-merge testing and agent conflict repair. That swaps a process control for a bet on agent competence, and the post doesn't publish failure data to show the bet is safe. Checkout, CI and merge are the next layers to be rebuilt as server-side services, since 25 million daily CI checkouts can't be fetched like a human would.
