Code Reviews is more than a crushing Developer Experience
summary
Code reviews succeed when the author delivers a readable maze and a clear map: split giant changes into small PRs (one project moved from a single massive diff to seven sequential PRs that all merged), include tests and a short PR description linking ticket/spec and explaining why not just what, point reviewers to key commits or files, offer walkthroughs or pairing, use simple signals like emojis or conventional comments, and add visual maps (CodeSee) to speed understanding and reduce friction.
