Not the person that you replied to, but I would suggest doing code reviews as a non-approver, taking non-critical path tasks (documentation can always be improved) and writing examples/tests if appropriate for your system.
- mythhouse 4y agoi don't like ppl with power over my employment and salary doing code reviews. I had a CTO once doing random code reviews without knowing complete context. It was hard to contradict him or much easier to just accept the suggestion and move on.
- andirk 4y agoAs a "senior" engineer, I believe it is my responsibility to code review as much as possible. It's the best use of my advanced knowledge outside of doing the occasional complex tasks. As a manager, I would see my main job to, in this order 1) keep as much of the non-coding tasks off my ppl's plates, 2) code review when needed, 3) type actual code, 4) remember birthdays.
