> I wonder if the PR workflow is just unsustainable in the agentic era. Rather than review every new feature or bug fix, we would depend on good test coverage, and hold developers accountable for what they ship.

I think what you're describing is setting up the human as the fall guy for the machine.

So taking responsibility for the code you generate is being a "fall guy?"

Yes, if your boss expects you to use AI agents to generate code faster than you can reasonably understand and review it. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place: you're "responsible," but if you take the time to actually be responsible you'll be reprimanded. The environment pushes you to slack on reviews in the short term to keep your head above water, but when a problem happens because of that you'll be blamed for it.
