Code Review - How to Do It Better?
summary
Recommendations for improving code review by focusing on concrete outcomes: use automated linters and formatters to eliminate style nitpicks, run design reviews early, limit routine-change reviewers to one or two trusted teammates, use pair programming for difficult or knowledge-transfer cases, and require fixing blocking issues before merging. Also suggests experimenting with “only-error” comments, balancing post-commit versus pre-commit reviews, and using tools such as GitHub and Code Collaborator to keep reviews efficient.
