I've seen a lot of people talking about the practice of code review in a way that I consider unrealistic lately. So here are my thoughts on what code review is—and isn't—for: https://blog.glyph.im/2026/03/what-is-code-review-for.html

What Is Code Review For?

Code review is not for catching bugs.

I always loved code review as long as it was with
people i trusted. Like show and tell with a dose
of everybody learns something.

At my last job it is telling but maybe anecdotal that
the lead programmer was a vibe coder and
hmmmm we stopped having code reviews.
(we had the github PR stuff, but that was mostly
policing code.)
