The one thing devs will still read when they stop reading code

As the role of AI in software development grows, the traditional view of code as the ultimate source of truth is being challenged, with a shift towards prioritizing "the Plan" as a new system of record that captures the intent and rationale behind software projects. While AI agents increasingly handle code generation, creating clean and technically sound outputs, they often obscure the underlying intent, making it difficult for humans to understand the decision-making process. CodeRabbit's Issue Planner addresses this by helping teams collaboratively plan and align on intent before coding begins, transforming vague issues into structured, reviewable plans that can be shared and refined. This shift emphasizes the importance of preserving meaning and context in development work, with "the Plan" serving as the key artifact that developers use to demonstrate their work and align with their teams, ensuring that software development remains transparent, collaborative, and aligned with human judgment and accountability.
