Key Excerpt

“His velocity is the highest on the team, but I’m stuck doing reviews… He trusts Claude output without validating root cause…”

Why This Matches Ryva ICP

Concrete dev-team pain: PR volume rises while shared ownership and validation discipline collapse.

Underlying Problem

AI-assisted output inflates visible throughput while shifting risk and cognitive load to reviewers.

You're not overthinking it. This is a workflow design bug: generation is rewarded, validation is externalized. If one engineer can open unlimited PRs without review obligations, the team gets pseudo-velocity. Add a hard gate tying PR throughput to review contribution and evidence of validation before review.

Suggested DM Idea (Copy)

Your post describes a real anti-pattern: AI increases code volume faster than team verification capacity. If useful, I can share a review-cap policy that rebalances ownership without banning AI usage.
