TL;DR: what if PR review was as engaging & low-friction as TikTok?

We’ve had a lot of innovation in AI agents producing more code, but I haven’t run across much in the way of innovation around how we do code review/PR review. The pace of new code is increasing, but humans reviewing are often still the bottleneck.

The knee-jerk reaction I have to get ahead of is “jUsT hAVe AI aGEnTs REviEw IT” - yes, that can be a tool which helps us, but it’s not a solution that covers us 100%. For one, many organizations still require a human-in-the-loop and 1-2 human reviewers for each PR, and we have to work with that constraint until Dark Factories become the norm (big maybe there).

I’m starting to explore some of these ideas in my research repo, feel free to take a look at the interactive demos, or read the context page for the distilled summary of my conversation with Claude about it.
