Abstract: Almost everyone who works with agile software engineering practices is aware of Code Review, and most of you already had a chance to participate in such kind of acitivities. Unfortunately very few people realize that Code Reviews is not only an approach of making the architecture and code better, but also important communication point between peers, where ones judge and others get judged.

Teams which don’t follow the basic rules of efficient communication and problem solving during Сode Reviews, have a high risk of being affected by issues, which can lately ruin their team attitude and even personal relations between the colleagues.

Having faced with such negative experiences, I’ve collected a plenty of bad practices running a Code Review and asked my colleagues about their emotions after being “code reviewed” in unproper way.

With all of that we’ll try to understand the most dangerous pitfalls of weak Code Reviews, their influences on team morale and will also leave some place for your experiences with this approach from your side. As a result you’ll have a clear idea about how no to run a Code Review and avoid personal issues in your daily work.
