code review is too late for code quality
summary
Argues that code review is too late for quality and instead pushes style and simple correctness to automation: pre-commit manages linters and formatters, pre-commit.ci runs them in CI and auto-applies fixes to pull requests, and tools like black and flake8 run locally or as git hooks. A lint rule once encoded a recurring bug at Lyft and prevents that outage class now, and the CI demo shows auto-fixes landing on PRs and turning red checks green.
