At Google, I learned how to write scalable code.
At Oracle, I learned how to write bulletproof code.
But no matter where you work, one thing remains constantâcode reviews will humble you. đ
Back when I started, code reviews felt like a never-ending checklist:
â âOptimize this loop.â
â âWhereâs the input validation?â
â âThis could be more efficient.â
Iâd spend hours fixing formatting while real issuesâsecurity flaws, performance bottlenecks, and maintainability concernsâgot buried under minor suggestions. And the worst part? Every round of feedback meant more manual debugging, refactoring, and testing.
Now, imagine if Agentic AI could actually help with these thingsânot just answer coding questions, but proactively assist with debugging, refactoring, and test generation.
For example, Qodo (formerly Codium) Gen 1.0 takes this concept a step further by introducing Agentic Chatâinstead of just giving one-shot responses, it actively analyzes project context, asks the right questions, and executes tasks autonomously.
Itâs not just about suggesting optimizationsâit understands intent, fetches relevant code snippets, generates test cases, and even integrates with tools like Git and Jira to provide real, actionable insights.
Iâve been experimenting with this, and it feels like the future of coding workflows is shifting towards something smarter. Instead of fixing the same things over and over, what if AI could handle the repetitive tasks, so we focus on the real problem-solving?
Maybe coding isnât just about writing better anymore. Maybe itâs also about working smarter. đ€
