A CTO at Weave shares three practices that distinguish top engineering teams in the AI era: continuously iterating on the hiring process (including paid work trials), learning to parallelize work across multiple AI coding agent sessions through better context management, and shifting code reviews from mandatory post-PR human reviews to AI-assisted review plus earlier plan-stage reviews. The post argues that AI tools now handle coding standards and bug detection well enough that only ~5% of PRs need human review, while direction-level feedback is better given during planning. Effective AI usage is framed as fundamentally a context management problem.
