Why your code review process is broken, and how to fix it

Code review processes can fail to prevent bugs and misalignments with business goals, leading to software that is difficult to fix and enhance over time. This failure may result from unrealistic deadlines, poor communication, and power dynamics within development teams, where junior reviewers might not assert their insights. Additionally, a disconnect between engineering and business teams can contribute to features that either lack usability or fail to address core business issues, as engineers may not be included in early business discussions. Even when features are delivered, inadequate architecture and uncontrolled technical debt can hinder future development, exacerbated by time pressures and burnout among developers. Addressing these challenges involves fostering empathy across teams, ensuring inclusive business discussions, and cultivating a respectful review culture.
