alt Hacker NewsWhy would I care if my code is reviewed quickly? If the answer is some variant of "I get punished if I don't have enough changes merged in fast enough," that's not helping. From the other side, it's having someone constantly breathe down your neck. Hope you don't get in a flow at the wrong time and need to break it so Mr. Lumbergh doesn't hit you up on Teams. It just reeks of a culture of "unlimited pto," rigid schedules, KPI hacking, and burnout.
Because it's basically async pair-programming.
You do a lot of small changes (<100 loc) that get reviewed often. If it doesn't get reviewed often then the whole idea of continuous development breaks down.
Argueable you have 8 hours of work a day. How many of them do you need to write 100 loc? After that 100 loc or maybe 200 take a break and review other people's code.
Plus you also have random meetings and stuff so your day already fragments itself so adding a code review in the time before a meeting or after is "free" from a fragmentation standpoint.
