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?
