Overview

Code review is a critical part of the development process. It involves one or more developers (other than the author) reviewing the code for correctness, style, and maintainability.

Benefits

  • Bug Detection: Finding errors before they reach production.
  • Knowledge Sharing: Team members learn from each other's code.
  • Consistency: Ensuring the codebase follows established standards.
  • Mentorship: Helping junior developers improve their skills.

Best Practices

  • Be constructive and respectful.
  • Focus on the code, not the person.
  • Keep reviews small and frequent.
