The post documents a pull request that ran more than fifty review rounds overnight, a reviewer spending most of its effort on pre-existing code, and a control the team says it does not yet have.

Anthropic has published how the Claude Code team runs code review now that Claude writes about 90% of Claude Code itself. The claim drawing the most scrutiny is not the percentage but what the team says it no longer needs. The post, by Addy Osmani, Morgan Westlee Lunt and Qing Wang, is the companion to Anthropic’s account of replacing git with an in-house system after its monorepo went from roughly 2,500 merged changes a day in May to more than 30,000 in September. Review was the next thing to break. The target is that most pull requests "merge with at most one human in the loop, who can be…
