It has always interested me to see how different development teams treat code reviews. Some teams see code reviews as crucial to their success while others see them as a barrier to getting things done. Over time, I’ve come to the conclusion that the culture around code reviews is an important indicator in predicting outcomes for a team.
I wholeheartedly believe this because I’ve seen the quality of code (and thus the product) and the culture of the team directly affected by a team’s code review practices. Ultimately, we can observe a team’s genuine agility in how it handles code review.
