Why Review Code?

Best Practices

“A friend asked me recently why it’s valuable to do code review. Most Silicon Valley tech companies, at least, do code review on every change to get at least two sets of eyes on it. At one of my earlier jobs we did opt-in code review (rarely) for a while, then a new employee coming from Google joined us and encouraged us to review all our code – which we did. It was a great decision.”
