Code Review
Code review is the single most effective practice for maintaining code quality. A good review catches bugs, shares knowledge, and improves the codebase.
Review Checklist
- Correctness: Does it do what it claims?
- Edge cases: Empty inputs, None values, boundary conditions
- Tests: Are there tests for new behavior?
- Naming: Do names communicate intent?
- Error handling: Are exceptions specific and helpful?
- Security: Any SQL injection, path traversal, or secret leaks?
