Ask HN: How is code review holding up at your company?

I keep hearing from friends in software engineering that code review is quietly fading away. At some companies it's become a rubber stamp, and at others it's been dropped completely. How it looks like in your companies?

Just rolled out our in-house review agent, catches things the paid offerings do not, but comes with a comment wall... we're rolling with it anyway since it is catching real defects.

We still require a lead/cto to sign off, one cannot merge their own PR, they remain tied to a human at creation time, so there are at least two pairs of biological eyes on every PR.

...tbd what the cognitive effects will be for us.
