The software development lifecycle (SDLC) is going through a massive shift as coding agents become increasingly ubiquitous in the industry. While this has very visible impacts that have been widely documented, it also results in more subtle changes that are less obvious.
I noticed one of those changes recently: code review has all but died without us noticing. I have seen this happen on my own engineering team. Senior engineers known for meticulous review are approving pull requests (PRs) within minutes.
