Continuous Improvements of The Code Review Process
summary
Advocates for concrete changes: break tasks into small PRs to reduce bugs and merge conflicts, add a pull request template with ticket links, context, screenshots and test status, and require approvals and assign reviewers to avoid the bystander effect. Schedule review time to avoid costly context switches, pair on technical design for big features, involve QA early for edge cases, prefer named constants over magic numbers, and use reviews as teaching opportunities with kind, actionable comments.
