Human PR Review Is Next

William's Substack 1 day ago 40

The author argues that PR review is shifting away from line-by-line reading toward tests, guardrails, monitoring, and automated review agents as AI writes code faster. In almost 3 weeks, a personal trading bot ran about 1,500 trades and a requirements bug led to losses before the issue was fixed. The new workflow changes review into “rules before code” plus re-review loops and independent user-story/UAT checks, with humans focusing on what they can’t undo and owning the remaining risk.

Why WebMCP matters

blog.yoav.ws 1 day ago 20

Shopify shipped WebMCP storefront tools to production and the post says additional support (including Checkout) is now arriving alongside growing third-party interest such as OpenAI and Cloudflare support. In the cited experiments, WebMCP was reported as 2.7x faster and 58% cheaper than other approaches, with 60 out of 60 successful Checkout attempts versus 56 out of 60 with browser automation. The change is that sites can register JavaScript tools with schemas for agents to call directly, improving co-browsing speed/UX and shifting agent–web interaction toward “direct tool calls” while driving ongoing work on permissions, monitoring, testing, and safety signals.
