The creation of a code review guide aimed to address the inconsistencies and lack of structure in the code review process. Developers often experienced confusion regarding expectations and received varied quality feedback, leading to inefficiency. The guide serves to align team members on why and how to conduct effective reviews, promoting a collaborative culture. It clarifies reviewer responsibilities and underscores the importance of knowledge sharing, maintainability, and early issue detection, helping new team members onboard more effectively and reducing friction in the review process.
We wrote the code review guide to create a shared understanding of expectations and to improve the quality of feedback, fostering collaboration instead of gatekeeping.
The inconsistency in code reviews stemmed not only from what was reviewed, but also from how feedback was communicated, causing confusion and slowing down progress.
