Question 1

Blocking comment vs suggestion, when do I write ❌ vs 💭?

Accepted Answer

Blocking: security hole, data loss, architecture violation, test failure, breaking change. Suggestion: style nit, naming, readability improvement. Use conventional-comments.org: prefix with 'suggest:', 'nitpick:', 'praise:'. Most reviews are ~70% suggestion, 20% request-changes, 10% approve. Tone matters, ask 'why?', don't demand.

Question 2

How do I review code when I don't know the codebase?

Accepted Answer

Read the PR description and test plan first. Ask questions: 'what does X do?', 'why not Y?'. Check for style consistency, typos, obvious bugs, missing tests. You'll catch ~30% of defects even without deep domain knowledge. New eyes are valuable, use them.

Question 3

AI-assisted review (Copilot Review, CodeRabbit), replacement or supplement?

Accepted Answer

Supplement only. Bots catch typos, test coverage, common patterns. Humans catch logic errors, design issues, team context. Use AI to filter noise, then focus your effort on architecture, intent, mentorship. Hybrid = 2x coverage, 0.7x effort.

Question 4

How do I give negative feedback without demoralizing the author?

Accepted Answer

Praise first (what's good), then educate (here's why), then request (please change). Avoid 'this is bad', use 'I'd prefer' or 'consider'. Async review = higher stakes, reread before sending. Approve work you'd accept, even if you'd write it differently.

Question 5

Review latency is killing velocity, how short is too short?

Accepted Answer

< 30min: too fast (false positives, skimming). 2-4h: healthy (async team, different timezones). 8h+: delays ship. If latency is pain point, use auto-approve on low-risk PRs (test-only, docs, config). Code owners can auto-merge green builds. Balance rigor + speed.

Question 6

My team ships fast but reviews are surface-level, how do I raise the bar?

Accepted Answer

Pair review + mentorship: on critical PRs, sit down together, discuss design. Document patterns in a style guide. Make 'test coverage' and 'no security warnings' gates before merge. Build review culture over 3-6 months, don't mandate perfection overnight.
