I have worked with a lot of engineers at various stages in their career. I have never once, over the course of a year, had an engineer submit code for review with the exact same deficiencies I had been catching and correcting for a year. If I had, I'd be making a very aggressive case that that engineer needed some intervention because their growth had stalled.

But LLM proponents want us to buy that as long as we review the code, everything is fine. That we should accept a junior engineer that isn't learning or growing.

I will die on the hill that while quality control is part of and the easiest to digest benefit of code review, its actual core value it brings to an organization is asynchronous mentorship.
