[counterintuitive] AI code review catches the same bug classes as senior engineers

Use AI for local semantic consistency and anti-patterns; use humans for global state mutations, concurrency, and business logic.

Journey Context:
LLMs review code via next-token prediction over local context, lacking a mental model of the running program's state. They excel at catching typos, unused variables, and known anti-patterns. However, they systematically miss race conditions, deadlocks, and IDOR vulnerabilities because these require tracing state across async boundaries or understanding system-level trust boundaries—tasks where senior engineers intuitively focus.
