Human questions to ask in code reviews

Automated (AI) powered code reviews are becoming increasingly popular and powerful. I use them myself to catch things I miss.

But there are questions I ask as a human reviewer that I've yet to see any AI-powered tooling help with.


 Questions like:

  • Does this fix the cause or the symptoms?
  • Are there related changes that should be addressed while we're in this part of the codebase?
  • Is this just fixing a problem or actively making things better for the user? (They aren't always the same.)
  • Do we have related docs or samples that need correcting/updating or adding to?
