The Code Review Pyramid
The more experienced I get the more I want to work on teams with a higher degree of trust than ones like this. Don't get me wrong I think code review can be valuable but on high preforming teams it works best on a as needed basis.<p>The way this has worked successfully for me in the past is as a new joiner to a team you submit for code review every time. My first couple of reviews tend to have a good bit of feedback as I settle in to the style of the team and often a new language or framework. After a while though I become a domain expert for the projects I am working on, and code reviews end up becoming a rubber stamp. At that point it's just something slowing me down. I'd request review when I need it, or I'm making a big change that will effect everyone, otherwise there are many cases where there is really only one way to skin this cat and it's totally perfunctory.<p>This sort of arrangement also requires a bit of ownership, if you see reports floating around about an endpoint you just worked on having issues you have to be able to be trusted to jump on it. I feel like trust and ownership are touchy feely people problems so tech people invented code reviews and linters to try to make up for not cultivating the sort of culture where they aren't required on every single little thing.
