summary
Argues that code review exists to enforce quality and transfer knowledge not to gatekeep; recommends PEP8 plus Pylint or PyCharm styling and concrete rules: a code of conduct, a documented timeline (one to two days), and backup reviewers including outsiders. Shows a concrete fix — replace os.system('rm -rf ...') with os.remove and a try/except — and says smaller merge requests, empathetic comments, and reviewing at least three times a day reduce delays and prevent technical debt.
