Code Review, A Software Engineer's Best Friend
summary
Code reviews catch bugs early and teach junior engineers while enforcing standards; practices include pulling branches locally, running IDE warnings in Android Studio, and failing style checks in CI and GitHub. Concrete rules: praise and one positive comment, treat code as team-owned, and “love but do not trust” — test the branch yourself. Guidance: avoid giant PRs (example shown with 64 files and ~3,000 lines), aim for under 400 lines so review fits in 1–2 hours, and schedule a maintenance week to pay down technical debt.
