Seems painfully obvious that, whatever you think about code, anyone using it is heading for a code-review logjam. Assuming that the org requires code review; if yours doesn’t, nothing I can say will help you. Anyhow, Rishi Baldawa writes smart stuff about the problem and possible ways forward, in ˚The Reviewer Isn't the Bottleneck”: rishi.baldawa.com/posts/review

[My prediction: A lot of orgs will *not* do smart things about this and will suffer disastrous consequences in the near future.]

The Reviewer Isn't the Bottleneck

AI tools are flooding PR queues and the instinct everywhere is to call review the bottleneck. I think that’s the wrong question. The reviewer is the last sync point before production changes. The goal shouldn’t be how to remove the gate, but how to make it cheaper to operate.
