    Why Code Reviews Matter

    Code reviews catch bugs, improve code quality, share knowledge, and maintain coding standards. They’re one of the most effective practices in software development.

    Structure of an Effective Code Review

    Start with clear acceptance criteria. Review for readability, maintainability, and correctness. Provide constructive, actionable feedback.

    Psychology of Feedback

    How you deliver feedback matters. Focus on the code, not the person. Use “we” language to create a sense of shared ownership.

    Automation First

    Let linters, formatters, and tests catch what they can. Save human review for the things only humans can judge.
