Code review is the most misunderstood practice in software. Myth vs reality:
Myth: gatekeeping → Reality: a shared brain — knowledge stops living in one head.
Myth: it slows you down → Reality: faster past a week — a flaw caught in review costs minutes; in prod, days + trust.
Myth: just catching bugs → Reality: where your standards live (naming, patterns, "we don't do it that way here").
It's not a checkpoint — it's culture, one PR at a time. Hoop = cost without benefit; culture = compounding returns.
