popzxc published a detailed blog post arguing that recent proposals to remove or minimize human code reviews—including from PostHog, Intercom, and Anthropic—are fundamentally misguided. The post contends that code reviews serve purposes beyond detecting bugs, including establishing team ownership and codebase understanding, and that the real problem is unsustainable velocity, not the review process itself.
