Bringing A Healthy Code Review Mindset to your team
summary
Asserts code review succeeds when teams adopt concrete habits: include reviews in estimates, use templates and linters to cut trivial comments, pick one primary reviewer then add a second only after approval, prefer in‑person sessions for complex changes, and plan review time (mornings or after lunch). Recommends authors be your first viewer, run a self-review to remove obvious issues, write comments that explain why, and refuse rushed reviews when short on time.
