I'm the tech director/CTO/whatever in a team of 3 devs (me plus 2). We don't do 'performance appraisals'. We often do code reviews. I sometimes do pair programming. Once in a while I have a private chat about something specific that's not code related.

Code reviews are something that is completely separate, to me. They should not be considered in performance reviews, otherwise you lose a lot of their effectiveness (the one exception would be if someone was being toxic in their comments)

  Not doing code reviews I guess works for very small companies. Code reviews are more for blind spot checks. And everyone had blind spots in a large system.

    Everybody should do code review. But they should not be part of the performance review process.
