This is a really interesting summary of the work @thoughtworks has been doing to remove the source code review and enable LLMs to consistently produce high quality results: they built a review agent that codified the recurring PR feedback: mine the last 1,000 review comments, cluster them, turn the repeat offenders into invariants the agent enforces.

Code has always served two audiences: the machine and the developer. LLMs are commoditizing the
first. The second is where things get interesting.
Unmesh Joshi's recent article "What is Code" on Martin Fowler's blog frames code as a conceptual model. My commentary adds ...
