One new ingredient, four timeless ones:
Small PRs — a giant PR can only be skimmed.
Automate the nitpicks — formatting/style/lint → CI, not comments.
AI first pass (NEW) — fast, strong on common patterns/obvious bugs; clears noise pre-human.
Humans own judgment — correctness, design, context not in the diff — and the merge.
Feedback kind + specific — name the failure mode.
Automate the mechanical so human judgment lands where it matters. Faster reviews, same bar.
