Your AI Code Review Is Lying to You (Here's the Fix) with Evan Marshall

Your AI code review tools read the diff. They stare at your code. But they never actually run it. So the bugs that only show up at runtime, the broken user flows, the bad query plan, the duplicate submission, sail right past review and land in front of your customers. In this episode, Joe Colantonio sits down with Evan Marshall, founder of Ito and a fifteen year engineer who spent five years in applied cryptography securing hundreds of millions of dollars for millions of people. Evan is taking that ship fast without breaking things discipline and pointing it straight at testing. Ito is an agentic QA platform that builds and runs your actual app on every pull request, navigates it like a real user, exercises the frontend and backend as one system, and brings back real runtime evidence: video replays, logs, the exact lines responsible, and steps to reproduce, posted right in your PR. You will learn: Why static code review misses the bugs that cause real production incidents How Ito spins up ephemeral environments and tests across UI, API, and database Why QA is not disappearing, it is leveling up into a manager and quality strategist role How to keep your test layer separate from your code generation so your signal stays honest The skills testers and engineers need as AI writes more of the code If you are shipping AI generated code at high velocity and your QA cannot keep up, this one is for you. Try Ito on your own code. Your first ten pull requests are reviewed free, no credit card required. Check it out at https://testgld.link/itoai now. And as Joe always says, seeing is believing.
