How not to do code reviews
SMRTR summary
Modern code review practices have evolved beyond traditional error-finding approaches. Automated testing and static code analyzers now handle most bug detection, allowing reviews to focus on knowledge sharing and long-term code maintainability. This shift emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and addressing evolvability issues. Teams can strategically pair experienced and less experienced engineers to accelerate learning and reduce knowledge silos. The goal is to build a resilient, adaptable team capable of maintaining a healthy codebase over time. Tools like Aviator FlexReview can help facilitate this new approach to code reviews.
