Why it matters for readers: It’s a real example of AI writing and vetting code, showing how human work shifts toward higher-level oversight.

  • Claude writes about 90% of Claude Code’s own code, increasing the volume of changes the team produces.1
  • The team shifted review from a late gate to continuous, machine-assisted review that catches routine issues before human inspection.12
  • From June to September 2026, merged pull requests more than doubled while the share requiring reverts fell by over 40%.1
  • The team treats 'did a human read the code?' as an imprecise proxy and instead asks which checks—automated or human—are right to catch potential problems.12
