Thank you, Ryan! Yep, I wish there was some better education around this especially for folks like myself who I feel I'm a bit awkward and unusual 😂

Same 😅, “how to win friends and influence people” was the best thing I found. Title is a little weird but tldr it’s a good book about soft skills

Haha yeah, I actually read that right before college but I think a refresher is always good and you always pick up new things

I notice you didn't mention anything about running the actual code. Do you include that in your code reviews?

It's a good point. I think I'll have to include that in the one about "what you should do when code reviewing."

For time-sake, I usually only run the code if I need to. But I have a coworker who almost always pulls down the code and their feedback is super on point

One more tip is to introduce a practice to mention the severity in the pr. Most of times we are not sure of that and keep the review for later.
