Simon Willison quotes Addy Osmani, Morgan Westlee Lunt and Qing Wang from "How the Claude Code team does code review". The quote reframes "did a human read the code?" as a proxy for "what could go wrong with this change, and which check, automated or human, should catch it". Review also shifts from an end-of-process PR gate to continuous review, like spellcheck. Claude reviews and fixes most changes at least once before a human looks, which saves human attention for higher-level questions.
TL;DR Quote from the Claude Code team: code review has moved from a PR gate to continuous Claude-driven checks, with humans reserved for higher-level scrutiny.
