Hard disagree. It's still way faster to review code than to manually write it. Also the speed at which agents can find files and the right places to add/edit stuff alone is a game changer.

Although tbh, even in the worse case I think I am still faster at reviewing than writing. The only difference is though, those reviews will never have had the same depth of thought and consideration as when I write the code myself. So reviews are quicker, but also less thorough/robust than writing for me.
This strikes me as a tradeoff I'm absolutely not willing to make, not when my name is on the PR
This is a recipe for disaster with AI agents. You have to read every single line carefully, and this is much more difficult for the large majority of people out there than if you had written it yourself. It's like reviewing a Junior's work, except I don't mind reviewing my Junior colleague's work because I know they'll at least learn from the mistakes and they're not a black box that just spews bullshit.
