Bad ideas that aren't bad anymore

What HN thinks

A principal engineer, a peon, and a dating metaphor walk into a code review; nobody approves the PR.

Code review is still essential
Many argue reviews catch wrong abstractions, missed edge cases and spec drift that tests and LLMs miss, and that dropping them builds technical debt.
Reviews are about shared understanding
Others say reviews mainly spread knowledge, build consensus and ask whether the right thing is being built, which vibe coding solo erodes.
LLM-heavy process can work
A minority report more merged PRs and fewer issues with automated tests, architecture checks and LLM review, though they note people lose domain knowledge and taste.

Consensus: Most commenters think one month is far too soon to call ditching code review a success, and that judgement and shared understanding still need humans.
