Badly-read literary snob
Where does the claim that code reviews prevents bugs come from? Is it bullshit or am I a terrible reviewer?

@RosaCtrl Mostly bullshit, at least.

@RosaCtrl Prevents *some* bugs, maybe.

@RosaCtrl is that the claim? I always assumed it was a tool to ensure the spread of institutional knowledge and programming culture

@RosaCtrl i don’t think that’s ever been the claim, except maybe for the shallowest bugs caused by inexperience or inattention. Code reviews are used to teach and learn, mostly.

Well. Code reviews of human code. LLM code? I guess to find bugs, even if reading code is one of the hardest ways of doing so
