The words I most commonly try to say when a project I have passed off comes back to me are: "I trust your judgment." By explicitly saying them, it reminds me that I employ them to make those judgments, and my role is to step back and let them do it.

- mseebach 9y ago"Happy to help, are there any of the technical details you specifically need my eyes on? Otherwise, I trust your judgement." Are you being approached because you are the only only around who actually remember working on the Foo Widget and the team wants to make sure they're not breaking something subtle, or are they implicitly coming to you for permission to trespass on your territory? Former situation, you do the code review as a techie (and remember to commend the team for finally getting around to tackling the badness in the Foo Widget), for the latter situation you trust their judgement.
