Are code reviews still necessary in the age of AI agents and pairing? Join Trisha Gee and Daniel North as they dismantle the "gatekeeping" trope and define a modern framework for high-performing engineering teams. In this deep dive, we explore the fundamental purpose of reviews beyond checking boxes. Whether you are an XP team committing to trunk or a large organisation using feature branches, you will learn to categorise reviews into three essential models: Policy (compliance and idioms), Show & Tell (knowledge sharing), and Critique (design alignment). We examine how these roles shift when collaborating with AI assistants and why "embarrassment-driven refactoring" might be your next favourite tool. Stop treating code reviews as a bottleneck and start using them as a strategic learning tool. Discover why inverting the power structure—having juniors review senior code—is a game-changer for readability and team growth. Don't let your CI/CD pipeline choke under the weight of AI-generated code; learn to ask the right "in order to" questions and streamline your path to live. - Trisha on X ➡️ https://x.com/trisha_gee Trisha on LinkedIn ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishagee/ Trisha on bluesky ➡️ https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7kzsipnvannpccj5dbeslj3p Daniel on LinkedIn ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tastapod/ Daniel On Mastadon ➡️ https://mas.to/@tastapod Daniel on bluesky ➡️ https://bsky.app/profile/tastapod.com Modern Software Engineering on X ➡️ https://x.com/ModernSoftwareX Modern Software Engineering on LinkedIn ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-software-engineering Modern Software Engineering on bluesky ➡️ https://bsky.app/profile/modernswe.bsky.social - ⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content! ➡️ https://bit.ly/ContinuousDeliveryPatreon 🎥 Join Us On TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@modern.s.engineering - 👕 T-SHIRTS: A fan of the T-shirts I wear in my videos?
