I think being responsible for the code is a better framing. I run a saas and I don’t always review all the code, but this thing supports my family, so I am acutely aware that I’m responsible for what it does. My customers aren’t going to let me blame the agent for fucking up their workflows.

But that still doesn’t mean I review all the code. I tend to review defensively, based on the potential for harm if this piece of code is broken. And I rely a lot on tests, static analysis, canaries, analytics, health checks, etc. to reduce risk for when I’m wrong. So far it’s working.
