I can see their point of view but it sounds like they focus on the downsides of code review and not the benefits. Code reviews increases awareness of changes, helps with desiloing, gives junior devs a chance to see how others write code in their own time, reduces chance of mistakes, encourages collaboration. To stop the endless ping ponging back and forth I advocate for Must/Should/Could in all code reviews. So long as everyone gets it, it massively speeds up code review and increases team happiness around the process. https://careerswitchtocoding.com/blog/moscow-the-best-code-review-technique-youre-not-using https://careerswitchtocoding.com/blog/moscow-the-best-code-r...
