My take is that teams should start to think about biasing for selecting for code review skills instead of pure coding skills.

The AI is going to significantly improve coding output, but at least for a while , we're still going to need human shepherds to make a call on quality, check for performance, security, and conformance to the bigger picture of the system. Maybe longer than we think given that we still have conductors and pilots.

The startup I was at just wound down last December and I interviewed with a handful of companies. None had any code reviews as part of their process, even though they probably already have engineers using Copilot or Cursor.

There's only been one company, a YC startup, that I interviewed with that incorporated a code review (as the first round no less). I ended up creating a lightweight, open source app[0] for teams to incorporate code reviews into the interview process more easily after really enjoying that process with the startup.

Nice! I was just think my company should be doing code reviews as part of the interview process. Will definitely check this out.
