What can humans safely stop looking at?
- AI can produce more code than humans can inspect, and that imbalance is unlikely to reverse. Reading everything cannot remain the quality-control strategy.
- Attention should go where judgement has the most value: consequential behaviour, ambiguity, weak guarantees, novelty and unresolved failures.
- Mechanical work can move into codemods, contracts, tests and analysis. Some decisions need constrained search; others still need human judgement.
- Focus may emerge from dependency and risk, but visible failures aren't enough. We also need to notice what has never been adequately verified.
