Experienced devs: when did you stop reviewing everything?

An experienced lead developer, with 8 years of experience, shares their journey with AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude Code, specifically using Claude Code through worktree-oriented IDEs. They have also upskilled their team in using these tools.
