[RevEng]

I do something similar. Design reviews are an extremely valuable part of the process but they take a long time and people are busy and who really has enough expertise to provide meaningful feedback? Well, the AI is always available and it can rip through my entire codebase in just a few minutes and it has seen more code than I could in a thousand lifetimes. Asking it to review my ideas, my proposals, my implementation, my documentation - anything I can think of - generates a wealth of good insights.

That's not to say that I follow every suggestion it gives any more than I accept every line of code it generates. I'm still the engineer and I still have my reasons for some decisions that may not make sense to an outsider. But as a rubber duck or a second set of eyes or a sober second thought, it can offer a lot of good feedback that I can consider, and most of it is quite good.

I'd say about 8/10 suggestions it makes I agree with and accept, maybe with some small tweaks. I don't think I've ever seen it suggest anything stupid. The last 2/10 are generally either things that would make sense if not for the rest of the context in my head that says it is that way for a reason, or because it's too minor to worry about changing.

All of this extra review takes more time and it usually results in me making a bunch of extra changes I wouldn't have otherwise made, but that's all I'm the make of much better quality and reliability and that pays off in multiples in the future.
