The original headline is: "We Let AI Write a Third of Our Code. Here's the Review Process That Kept Us Sane."

Short summary

AI code generation speeds up development but shifts costs from writing to review. This team solved it by making PR openers accountable for all code, using deterministic gates before human review (type-checks, linting, SAST, test coverage), and tailoring review checklists to common failure modes. Success comes from treating generation as cheap and ownership as real work.

• •Accountability norm: PR opener owns every line, no 'the AI wrote it' excuses
• •Deterministic gates before human review: type-checks, linting, SAST, test coverage requirements
• •Generated code fails predictably: watch for edge cases, hallucinated APIs, security anti-patterns

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
