And empirical studies on informal code review show that humans have a very small impact on error rates. It disappears when they read more than roughly 200 SLOC in an hour.
- lossolo 1y agoInteresting, do you have a link to the study? Our experience is different, at least when reviewing LLM generated code, we find quite a few errors, especially beyond 200 LOC. It also depends on what you're reviewing, 200 LOC != 200 LOC. A boilerplate 200 LOC change? A security sensitive 200 LOC change? A purely algorithmic and complex 200 LOC change?
