If LLMs Write Your Code, LLM Code Review Is the Wrong Loop
If you are using LLMs to write code, using LLMs to review the MRs is wrong. The writing-time model already had the best context for spotting errors; an MR-time bot is a weaker pass with less information. And the part of review that genuinely needed a second mind — team priors, incident history, intent — is exactly what a second LLM session cannot supply. Close the loop upstream at prompt time and downstream at behavior, not on the diff.
