      I started to do code reviews by pulling down the branch on my computer. For me it's easier to reason about the changes. What do you think?

      I resist pulling branch for code reviews if it is someone I collaborate with regularly. Too tempting to play w/ code.

      Play == change it according to your thoughts?

      "Play" meaning run / modify the tests and play with things in the REPL to see how things work. Maybe also try out changes I want to propose

      I think that this playing is what I’m looking for stronger reviews.

      I think it is fine to play with the code if you are reviewing code from someone you haven't worked with.

      I think playing with the code locally though can sort of be a small violation of trust though if it is someone you are collaborating with

      Sorry, but I don’t see why. 😊It’s not a matter of trust, but to increase the chances of spotting mistakes. This is good for the entire team.

      Like all engineering it depends on your priorities. If you are creating a high quality web framework without deadlines then probably fine.

      But even for high quality things at some point I ask "we should either just pair program or set some maximum effort for code reviews"

          BTW I've been down the deep end of maximizing review quality and mistake detection. Ran every tool imaginable in CI + super thorough reviews

          100% mutant, flay, flog, reek, rubocop, rubocop-rspec, as well as the type of reviews we are talking about where reviewer plays with code.

          So if you are maximizing quality of any kind then 👍. If code being reviewed is likely to churn as the author learns what they want then 👎
