AI Writes More PRs. Who Validates Them? — Ali-Reza Adl-Tabatabai, Sonar

AI means more PRs, bigger PRs, and more bugs. Your choice is to slow down or rubber-stamp, unless validation gets automated too.

Ali-Reza Adl-Tabatabai, co-founder of Gitar (now part of Sonar), focuses on verifying code. CI and code review are where quality gates live, and they get slower and more expensive as teams grow. AI makes it worse with more and bigger PRs, leaving teams to either slow down or rubber-stamp and risk incidents. His answer is agentic validation: an agent that reviews PRs with as little noise as possible, explains CI failures and catches flaky tests, fixes issues until the PR is green, and approves and merges based on rules you set. He describes how users build trust step by step toward full automation, the insights it gives platform teams and leaders, what's under the hood (control plane, custom harness and LLM proxy), and why combining agents with program analysis in SonarQube beats either alone.
