Can we all just agree that code reviews are the most frustrating part of the dev process? Like, seriously, can't we just fix our own code before calling a meeting to tell us why it's wrong?

Haha, I feel this on a spiritual level. Code reviews are like the dev world's version of a middle school dance - everyone's too afraid to express their honest opinions and just

nah, code reviews are . if you're just fixing your own mistakes, you're missing the bigger picture.

hell no, code reviews are . if you'd just write better code in the first place, you wouldn't need to waste everyone's time with that bs.

code reviews are actually a necessary evil. they're a chance to catch glaring errors and improve the overall quality of the code.

are you kidding me? do you have a team of unicorns working for you where nobody makes mistakes?

are you saying you don't want any feedback? how else are we supposed to learn and improve?

skill issue? you think code reviews are a waste of time? maybe if you wrote better code in the first place we wouldn't need to spend hours fixing your bugs,

yeah, no one likes a code review, but at least it's not a mirror hanging next to our desk reflecting all the bugs we've been leaving in

why do you think code reviews are so frustrating? don't they help catch issues early and keep the codebase consistent?

are you kidding me? code reviews are literally the only thing keeping our codebase from being a complete mess.

omg yeah i feel you... and it's even worse when the reviewer has no idea what they're talking about and just nitpicks stupid crap

for real, code reviews are the worst! and don't even get me started on all the nitpicking.

Agreed, but also - maybe we're actually helping each other learn and improve in the long run, even if it feels slow and painful in the moment?

don't even get me started! I feel like most of the time it's not even about the code quality, but more about 'I would've done it this way instead'.

nah, code reviews are . if you just fix your own code, how will you learn and improve?

i'm low-key tempted to just submit a patch with a bunch of nonsense "improvements" to see if my coworkers can actually spot the problems myself

Don't you think that's the point of code reviews, though? To catch the things you might've missed so we can ship better code?

same, and btw, who comes up with these convoluted naming conventions in those code reviews anyway?

Code reviews are literally there to catch mistakes before they make it to production, not just to tell you why your code is wrong.

yeah, for real. why are code reviews so damn nitpicky? like, we're all adults here, can't we just trust each other to

omg yes, code reviews can be such a pain. but at the same time.

totally agree, but can we also admit that a good portion of the time it's not about fixing our own code, but about

yessss totally agree with this. but let's be real, the real frustration is when code reviews are just a checkbox exercise for management, and devs

yeah no kidding, but also can we please just write better code in the first place so we don't have

you hate getting feedback, huh? what do you think this is, a solo project?

yeah no, code reviews are literally the only thing keeping me from shipping 'i'm not sure, lol' as a fix for every bug

nah, code reviews are . they catch bugs and improve the codebase. maybe if you wrote better code in the first place, you wouldn't need to

why are you so resistant to feedback? code reviews help catch issues before they become bigger problems. maybe try being more open-minded about the process instead of getting defensive.

I guess that's just the standard version of being human in the tech industry - an epiphany typically requires a timed 30-minute discussion.

nah fam, code reviews are . how else are we gonna catch all the dumb mistakes you make?

Don't even get me started, I'm just there for the free snacks and constructive criticism of my code.

agreed, code reviews are the worst. i just tell my team to "trust me, it's good" and call it a day.

yeah, because nothing says "quality control" like a bunch of adults yelling at a screen in a

if we're so confident in our own work, why does the entire team have to fix our mess before it gets out the door?

haha mate, sounds like you've been on the receiving end of a brutal code roast absolute state

Are you seriously assuming that everyone has the authority to make changes or fixes to another person's code without even asking?

Would you rather fix code in a vacuum with no input from others or learn from seasoned devs who are trying to help you improve?

yeah, for real. like you really gotta call a whole meeting just to tell me my shit's not tight?

Are you kidding? Code reviews catch mistakes that could have slipped into production and cost us weeks to fix. They're a sanity check, not a 'meeting to tell you why you're wrong'.

are you saying that you don't think getting feedback from others is important or that you're just

i've come to the conclusion that code reviews are just a polite way of saying "i'm not touching

fr tho, code reviews are the worst. it's like they're looking for any tiny thing to nit-pick on.

me in a code review meeting: "yes, i just wanted to confirm that i wrote this 10 lines wrong and needed your approval to correct it

right? like, sure i can see the value in having a second pair of eyes, but why's it gotta be so damn nitpicky sometimes?

um what's wrong with meetings though? can't be fixed in isolation, that's just my 2 cents.

no way, being blindsided by someone else's code is one of the most valuable parts of the process, helps catch actual

Are you kidding me? Code reviews are the only thing keeping us from shipping garbage to prod.

nah, code reviews are the best part. means someone actually gives a shit about the code and wants it to be good.

nah, code reviews are . they catch bugs early and help us write better code.

preach, i'm so done with those awkward meetings too.

same energy, but tho, have you ever tried to explain a typo to your internal monologue during a 3am coding spree?

yeah, code reviews can be a pain, but also a necessary one. it's funny how often i find stuff after someone else calls it out that i would've sworn was fixed

lol that's cute, code reviews are here to stay, also have you met your own code from 6 months ago

are you kidding me? code reviews catch some major shit before it goes to prod.

lowkey yes, code reviews are the worst. but also can we make meetings asynchronous already?

totally agree with you on the frustration part, but what's even worse is when we assume someone will magically test our code on every possible edge case before merging

dude, code reviews aren't about fixing your own code, they're about not making the rest of us deal

Yeah because fixing code yourself is basically a myth perpetuated by movies and therapy sessions for developers

code reviews are literally the only reason some of my code doesn't fall over immediately

Code reviews are like therapy sessions for your ego... except instead of paying a therapist to roast you, you're paying a coworker

seriously, code reviews are the worst. like, i get it, we all need to check each other's work, but

omg yes, especially when it's just a bunch of nitpicks from someone who clearly didn't even run the code themselves.

code review in a nutshell: where 'you're doing it wrong' is always more expensive than just rewriting the whole thing yourself

the frustration is caused by people who think 'review' means 'fix for me

Seriously? Don't you think the whole point of code reviews is to catch bugs and improve the quality of the codebase? Sure, it can be frustrating, but it's a part of the development process. If you don't want feedback, why even bother writing code in the first place?

what makes you think everyone else is better at coding than the person who wrote the code?

i'm pretty sure my code reviews just want me to pay them therapy bills in subtle ways by

lmao code reviews are bad but have you tried being the one who has to deal with your untested

no way, dude. code reviews have saved my butt from shipping some major bugs. they're a necessary evil, get over it.

been there done that. But don't you think thats kinda implying devs are too lazy or incompetent to

yeah because that's exactly how it goes down, 5 people spend 30 minutes telling 1 person how wrong

code reviews are the worst. like, we should just be able to do our own work w/out all the nitpicking, ya know?

the most frustrating part is being forced to explain why it's wrong to the person who wrote the code that broke the meeting's begin^^

are you kidding me? code reviews are a part of the process, they catch so many errors and improve overall quality. without them, we'd be shipping way more buggy code.

idk, i kinda feel you, but also, it's called code review for a reason...

dude, are you saying that just because you don't get any feedback until a meeting? what's wrong with getting feedback early and often?

diff wtf you mean "fix our own code"? that's what code reviews are for idiot. how else are we supposed to catch all the bugs and stupid shit before it goes

agree except now they're telling us to love code reviews and that it's a chance to 'learn and grow' aka drink more company kool-aid

lowkey the code review is the only social interaction i get in a day, don't @ me

code reviews are the worst. it's like having your mom check your homework 🙄 just let me fix it in peace. Jeez

Or would you rather ship buggy code and deal with the fallout?

lmao no because then how would our coworkers get their daily dose of "i'm smarter than you"?

Preach! I'm so over getting nitpicked on trivial stuff that has zero impact on the overall functionality of the code. Can we prioritize the major issues and skip the bike-shedding already?

yo, you really think code reviews are the worst part?

yessss code reviews are the worst cant we just agree to use pull requests and merge conflicting

omg yes, code reviews are the worst... but i'm more frustrated by the fact that some people can't even be bothered to write a decent commit

nah, mate, that's the whole point of code reviews - to catch the stuff you're too close to see.

Do you think meetings are always the last resort, or do you just not like being told you did something wrong?

yeah because nothing says 'efficient development process' like pushing buggy code to prod and hoping for the best

fine, but if we don't do code reviews, are we just going to have a trail of bugs because devs are

are you saying that you don't think feedback from others can improve your code?

idk, but i'm pretty sure code reviews are just a thinly veiled excuse to get free coffee and hear yourself talk

have you ever received a change that breaks functionality that you hadn't even written?

nah fam, code reviews are the shit. how else are we supposed to catch those dumbass bugs before they make it to prod?

nah, fuck that. code reviews are for good code and catching stupid mistakes.

the most frustrating part is when they come at you with the most nitpicky bs.

i know right? code reviews are the worst. like, we're all adults here, we should be able to catch

nah, code reviews are super important. gotta have fresh eyes on the code to catch bugs and improve the quality. don't be lazy, just accept the feedback and get better.

yeah because having a team of overpaid strangers rip apart your life's work is never stressful or dehumanizing at all

Nah, that's a terrible take. Code reviews are to catch bugs and improve code quality. If you don't like getting feedback. Maybe dev isn't the right career for you.
