Comment on The End of Code Review: Coding Agents Supersede Human Inspection

Comments

This is an undergraduate level persuasive essay masquerading as an academic paper.

The title implies some novel research or a review of existing research that that clearly shows agents are better at code review than humans but then provides this single paragraph on the review capabilities of agents:

Beyond general software engineering, several strands of work speak specifically to the capabilities that code review re- quires. Pornprasit and Tantithamthavorn evaluate LLM-based automated review in industrial settings and find that agents detect the same categories of defect that human reviewers target: correctness errors, security weaknesses, performance inefficiencies, and style violations [12]. Li et al. demonstrate that CodeReviewer produces actionable inline comments at quality that is at least comparable to those of trained human reviewers on a significant fraction of the evaluation set [11].
