I often find myself leaving review comments on pull requests where I was surprised. I'll state as much: This surprised me - I was expecting XYZ at this point. Or I wasn't expecting X to be in charge of Y.

WTFs/minute is a good metric for code quality. Now your pair expressing that can be an LLM.

I like to say that the reviewer is always right in that sense, if something is surprising, confusing, unexpected. Since I've been looking at the code for hours, I don't have a valid perspective anymore.
