Knowing when to send code for review

In general, it’s a good idea to send code for a code review whenever you have made significant changes or additions to the code base. This can help ensure that the code is well-designed, adheres to coding standards, and is free of bugs or other issues.

Here are some specific situations where you might want to send code for a code review:

1. When you have completed a new feature or functionality: If you have added a new feature or made a significant change to an existing feature, it’s a good idea to send the code for review. This can help ensure that the feature works as intended and meets the requirements of the project.
2. When you have made changes to core functionality: If you have made changes to the core functionality of the application, such as the database or authentication system, it’s important to get the code reviewed to ensure that the changes are well-designed and don’t introduce any security vulnerabilities or other issues.
3. When you have refactored or optimized code: If you have made changes to the code to improve performance or make it more maintainable, it’s a good idea to send the code for review to ensure that the changes are well-designed and don’t introduce any new bugs or issues.
4. When you are unsure about a particular piece of code: If you are unsure about the best way to implement a particular piece of functionality or if you are not sure if a particular piece of code adheres to best practices or coding standards, it’s a good idea to get the code reviewed by a more experienced developer.
5. When there is a requirement for code review in your development process: If your team or organization requires code review as part of the development process, you should send the code for review whenever you have made changes to the code base.

In general, it’s a good idea to send code for review early and often, to catch issues early in the development process. Code review can help ensure that the code is well-designed, easy to maintain, and meets the requirements of the project.
