Code review is one of those things everyone agrees is important but few teams actually enjoy doing. It’s time-consuming, sometimes awkward, and often feels like a chore. But when done right? It’s one of the highest-leverage practices you can have in a Java team. This guide is for teams who want to get serious about…

AI code review tools are changing the way we write and review code. Fast. What used to take hours now takes minutes — sometimes seconds. Code review has always been a key part of the dev process, but also one of the slowest. Now it’s finally being reimagined with AI. If you work with code…

If you lead an engineering team, you’ve probably seen this before: stuck PRs, delayed deploys because no one reviewed the code, and a growing pile of changes waiting for approval. Code review, which should help ensure quality, often becomes a bottleneck—and worse, sometimes no one even notices until it’s too late. This article is an…

Have you ever caught yourself staring at a snippet of AI-generated code, wondering whether it’s worth a detailed review? The short answer: absolutely. Fast-forward to 2030, and code reviews will matter even more than they do today—despite (or maybe because of) AI’s growing presence in our development process. But why? Let’s find out. The Shifting…
