If you’ve ever waited days for a code review to be approved or felt like your review was just a rubber stamp, you know this process can either be a competitive advantage or a massive bottleneck in development. The challenge is finding the right balance: reviews that are too fast can compromise quality, while overly…

Code review is still one of the most important steps to keep software quality high. But let’s be honest: it often becomes a bottleneck in the development flow. The pressure to ship fast, combined with growing project complexity, makes the process slow — and sometimes, just frustrating. AI sped up coding. But it also brought…

The code review process is a crucial part of the development cycle, yet it often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Some code review practices end up causing more harm than good. Small missteps can turn code reviews into a frustrating experience for both the reviewer and the developer submitting the code. In this post,…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from studying code reviews and talking to engineering teams, it’s that most of them don’t have a clear style guide or well-defined guidelines for code reviews. It might seem like a small thing, but it creates a massive ripple effect. Without a coding standard, every dev just follows what…

The debate around technical debt is nothing new, but it’s more relevant now than ever. With teams constantly under pressure to deliver faster results, the risk of accumulating debt grows exponentially. Technical debt isn’t just about cutting corners in code—it’s about the systemic consequences of those decisions over time. The good news? Artificial Intelligence tools…

If you work in software development, you’ve probably heard of code review. But what exactly is it, and why do so many people talk about this practice? And what role does AI play in code review? In this article, I’ll answer these questions. Ready? Let’s dive in! What Is Code Review? What sets good software…

Code review is a proxy for ensuring software quality. It’s not just about catching bugs—it’s an opportunity to share knowledge, reinforce best practices, and align the team. But here’s the thing: how do you know if it’s actually working? Measuring the effectiveness of code reviews is crucial to ensure they bring real value, and this…

We’ve all been there You open a massive PR.Try to figure out what changed.Drop a few generic comments.And just hope nothing critical slipped through. Without a checklist, code review turns into a ritual.The reviewer pretends to review.The author pretends to fix.And two days later, the bug shows up in production. The fix? A solid checklist…

When it comes to software development, one thing is clear: no one wants messy, unmaintainable code. A solid code review process is essential to catching problems before they turn into full-blown headaches. But why exactly should your team adopt a formal code review process? Better Quality, Less Rework Picture this: a developer wraps up a…
