Code Reviews

Code reviews is one technique that you can leverage to spread knowledge, keep codebases consistent, and increase quality. Pull request flows are built in to most modern source control management tools and is one way to force a point of review. Other techniques like pairing can have similar effects though, so don't think that a PR workflow is the only way.

When you review code, you have an opportunity to help ensure code consistency and quality, as well as to learn new things from their code. This is a big responsibility and is worth the time and effort to avoid technical debt and keep everyone in sync.
