Discovery-First Orchestration

TL;DR If you read the recent Latent.Space piece on killing code review , you walked away with a clear argument: the bottleneck has moved from writing code to reading it. AI writes too fast for humans to review. His solution? Move the human checkpoint upstream. Review intent, not implementation. "The most valuable human judgment is exercised before the first line of code is generated, not after." It's a solid insight. But the bottleneck is mislabeled. Code review isn't about reading . It's decision making . Reviewing intent is too. And no matter when you do it, decision making takes context. Moving the decision to the front of the line (spec writing/reviewing) requires just as much human effort to collect that context. The language changed from C++ to English. The bottleneck remains just as tight. You can't leverage the speed that AI coding enables. You can't achieve the confidence of human code review. The joy of vibe coding is stumbling into something that just works . But just as oft
