Pattern #1: From Producer to Manager – AI Native Dev
April 11, 2025
AI produces the code, you review it
It all started with simple code autocompletion in our IDEs. But the real question became: is it suggesting the right code? As developers, we still had to verify everything the AI generated. Fast forward a few years, and we now have chat interfaces suggesting full code snippets. Of course, we still need to review them before pasting anything into our code window.
Chat became multiline suggestions, a single file became multiple files, all the way to the complete scaffolding of applications. The trend is clear: the more is generated by AI, the bigger the pull requests become. The time saved on generating the code now moved towards time reviewing the code, similar to reviewing a colleague’s code.
