Make the Diff Boring: Engineering AI Code for Humans to Review

At November's Digital Lincoln meetup, Jennifer Mackown will be giving us a preview of her upcoming conference talk: "Make the Diff Boring: Engineering AI Code for Humans to Review".

AI coding tools have a dirty secret: they're making code review harder. Generating code is getting absurdly cheap. Understanding someone else's code hasn't gotten any easier. We're about to drown in pull requests

This talk is about building a review system — not a review step. From how to set up CI, static analysis and AI review so they absorb the grunt work; to getting clear on the part we actually need human reviewers for: judging whether a change is the right change, not just a working one.
