How to carry out effective code reviews

What this post added

This post details four key tips for effective code reviews: 1. Time management by dedicating specific blocks of time (e.g., mornings) for reviews and aiming to unblock others in different time zones. 2. Prioritizing unblocking others by responding to merge requests quickly, aiming to beat the 2-day SLO. 3. Focusing on the code rather than the feature, especially when unfamiliar with the feature's domain, deferring feature-specific reviews to UX/PM, but also leveraging code familiarity to identify bugs. 4. Seeking to understand by asking questions to foster discussion and arrive at the best solution, potentially identifying technical debt. It emphasizes that efficient code review is a learned skill.
