Return on Attention: Why AI Code Reviews Are Wearing Us Out

PR volume went up, ticket quality didn't, and the gap got filled with LLMs on both sides of the review: bots reviewing, bots replying, bots occasionally arguing with bots about priorities that only existed in a teammate's head. Our CEO named the actual problem, and it's bigger than code review.

The Sword of Damocles at Work: The Human Cost of Delayed Layoffs
