Yuchen Jin predicts AI agents will make human code review obsolete
Overview
Yuchen Jin says his team already auto-approves many AI-written pull requests because it is much faster than waiting for human review.
In a post on X dated 2026-11-03, he argues that as models improve, agents reviewing each other's code will make less sense. He says the endgame may be a single agent that writes code and proves it works. This is a prediction from Jin, not a reported change at a named company, and the post gives no figures on how many pull requests are auto-approved or what checks replace review.
