AI is generating more code than ever, and reviewing it has become a lonelier, more exhausting slog. This week we dig into whether ideas like shared review sessions can actually make code review better. Then we run through a brutal week of hacks hitting OpenCode, PHP, Next.js, and TLS certificates, count the many new TypeScript forks, and look at the custom source control Anthropic built to merge 30,000 changes a day.
