code reviews

Developer feedback sessions

Code reviews are examinations of software code by developers other than the original author, typically before the code is merged into a shared codebase.

The practice catches bugs, improves code quality, and spreads knowledge across a team: Can you do a code review on my pull request?

Reviews range from quick approvals to extended back-and-forth discussions about design decisions.
