A Lovable engineer describes scaling agentic coding from 20-30 merged PRs per week in January to over 150 per week by June, using a hierarchy of agents and automated review. The post details a shift from human line-by-line code review to AI-driven review, with human attention reserved for high-impact design decisions. It also covers a risk classification system for PRs that routes changes to fast AI, slow AI, or human review based on risk level.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://lovable.dev/blog/85000-in-tokens-later-scaling-agentic-coding-at-lovable:

> The transition from human-written to AI-written code in many ways is a new level of abstraction, like the transition from assembly to higher-level languages. Back then, people pretty quickly stopped looking directly at the output from the compiler. The same is happening with code review today.
