Ask HN: How do you get comfortable with shipping code you haven't reviewed?

This is the advice I've gotten on how to adapt to AI driven development at breakneck speed - to the point of having AI tooling write and ship projects in languages the 'operator' doesn't even know. How do you get confidence in a workflow where e.g. a team of agents does development, another team of agents does code review and testing, and then it is shipped without a human ever verifying the implementation?

I hear stories of startup devs deploying 10-30k+ lines of code per day and that a single dev should now be able to build complete products that would ordinarily take engineer-years in under a month. Is this realistic? How do you learn to operate like this?

Sometimes it feels like there is an awful lot of software out there that shipped without much review. This was happening long before AI arrived on the scene.

Hard to tell if anyone was 'comfortable' with that.
