Understand this story
Aviator founder and CEO Ankit Jain proposes a framework that replaces line-by-line code review with intent verification. According to him, after the share of AI-generated code rose and the volume of PRs reached four times that of a year earlier, the team abandoned reading diffs line by line and instead reviews acceptance criteria, constraints, and edge cases before code generation, giving a deterministic conclusion backed by evidence for each criterion. The team also distilled recurring review comments from historical PRs into reusable invariant rules that machines enforce on every change—for example, always use the Money type for anything involving currency, and never write directly to the users table. Jain says this transition took about three months, after which code review was no longer a delivery bottleneck.

Aviator CEO shares how to replace line-by-line code review with intent verification
Ankit Jain, founder and CEO of Aviator, explains that as the share of AI-generated code rose and PR volume reached four times the level of a year earlier, his team abandoned reading diffs line by line. Instead, they review acceptance criteria, constraints, and edge cases before code generation, and give a deterministic conclusion with evidence for each criterion. The team also turned recurring review comments from historical PRs into reusable invariant rules, enforced by machines on every change—for example, always use the Money type for anything involving currency, and never write directly to the users table. The author says this transition took about three months, after which code review was no longer a delivery bottleneck.
