The Four Stages Of A Code Review

The Four Stages Of A Code Review
Every code review starts with righteous indignation. "Why would anyone write it this way?" Then you read it again. "No seriously, WHY?" By the third pass, you're questioning your own sanity. Finally, enlightenment hits: "Oh, that's why." Turns out the original author was dealing with some cursed edge case, a legacy system from 2003, or a database that returns null when it feels like it. The journey from "this is garbage" to "actually, I would've done the same thing" takes about 15 minutes and three cups of coffee. Bonus points if you end up apologizing in the PR comments.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute CARNAGE of code reviews! ๐Ÿ’€ Four people MERCILESSLY beating the life out of the fifth with their "suggestions" and "best practices." Meanwhile, that poor developer is just CRAWLING on the ground, begging for mercy after submitting what they thought was perfectly acceptable code! The psychological TRAUMA of seeing your precious if-else statements get absolutely DEMOLISHED by Karen from backend who just HAS to point out that you could've used a switch statement instead. THE HORROR!

It's Hard Work Finding Your Own Bugs

It's Hard Work Finding Your Own Bugs
Oh. My. God. The AUDACITY of this truth! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Finding bugs in your own code? Might as well use a tiny walking stick like blind Bart up there. But finding bugs in someone else's code during peer review? Suddenly we're NASA scientists with the Hubble telescope! Nothing brings out the eagle-eyed code detective faster than the chance to point out that someone ELSE messed up. The hypocrisy is just *chef's kiss* MAGNIFICENT. We'll spend three hours debugging our own spaghetti code only to spot seventeen issues in a colleague's PR within 45 seconds flat. It's not a superpower we asked for, but it's definitely one we abuse!
