About this session

By the end of 2026, asking a human to review every pull request will be as optional as asking one to run every unit test manually. The tooling will be ready. The question is whether organizations are. In this talk, Itamar Friedman, CEO of Qodo, explains why we are approaching the end of line-by-line human code review as a default requirement and explores what has to be true for teams to get there. The barrier was never agentic AI capability. It was trust. And trust in automated review does not come from smarter models or faster feedback loops. It comes from systems that provide a trustworthy, concise and personalized proof-of-validation report. These systems are built on how engineering teams at specific organizations write their code: their own rules and standards, their PR history, their architecture decisions, their tribal knowledge that lives in comments and conversations and gets lost when engineers leave. Itamar will walk through the shift from PR-by-PR review toward continuous, context-based code review and governance, and share a practical approach to making human code review optional. If your team is shipping AI-generated code faster than humans can read it, join us for the discussion.
