## What Jamie wrote

Code Reviews are a fundamental part of most software delivery lifecycles and with the advent of AI coding it, like nearly all aspects of the SDLC, is requiring a rethink. Historically code reviews were a way to improve our craft. Junior engineers would submit their changes to a senior engineer for review. This is a very artisanal process to improve the capabilities of the junior engineers on your team.

Over the years we have overloaded code reviews with tons of other things like security gates and a bunch of automated processes. Now we are having to take this all apart and figure out how to do it in the future. I do think you want multiple agents looking at code in some form of a code review. But the original way it worked is really no longer applicable.
