Career
Jain’s founder biography records engineering leadership at Sunshine, Homejoy and Shippo, earlier engineering at Google and Adobe, and an entrepreneur-in-residence role at Unshackled. He also leads the Xoogler alumni network. Aviator joined Y Combinator’s Summer 2021 batch and builds tooling for merge workflows and developer productivity.[3]
Ideas
In How to Kill the Code Review, Jain argues that reading every generated line becomes a bottleneck as agents produce larger changes. He proposes reviewing specifications, constraints, plans and acceptance criteria before implementation, then using automated checks and targeted human inspection to assess the result. The argument relocates engineering judgment; a reviewed specification alone does not prove that the implementation satisfies it.[1]

Read the review essay and compare its proposed checks with one real change. Engineering-review experience helps; use it to identify where requirements and implementation need separate validation, rather than treating the title as permission to remove verification.
