Good point! Reviewing code, in the AI era, in my practice, means skimming code and looking for patterns.

I use templates / conventions and make the AI generate code using them. When reviewing code I'm scanning if a file uses a specific template and follows specific conventions.

This can't catch subtle errors like a function is re-created vs is re-used (duplicate code), unnecessary code (bloat), inconsistent naming (a Button component has a cssRow() styling function associated vs cssButton()).

When you start editing, using code these little things add up, consume your attention, drain you up, giving no flow and resulting in minimal productivity.
