About this episode
The episode discusses the limitations of human code review and the advantages of automated code review in the context of Python programming.
With the mountains of Python code that it's possible to generate now, how's your code review going? What are the limitations of human review, and where does machine review excel? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.
