✅ How To Get Faster Code Reviews

Welcome to the fifth issue of the Software Mastery newsletter.

In this issue, I want to share a few tips on getting faster code reviews.

When I started working in the tech industry as an intern, I was shocked at how long it took to get a code review.

Sometimes, a published code review would take up to a week before someone looked at it and left feedback. This delay is particularly frustrating when working on features that require multiple sequential code changes.

Over time, I’ve learned that there are some things you can do to improve the time it takes to get an approval:

1. Make your change easy to review.

2. Assign the change to specific people.

3. Use your manager as a forcing function.
