Review like it matters
Fluent code fails in boring ways.
- Authz, money, and deletions — read every line.
- New dependencies — almost always a no unless you asked.
- Deleted tests — treat as a pager event.
- Comments that narrate the obvious and skip the invariant — a smell.
Discernment for builders is a diff, not a feeling. Diligence is CI plus your eyes on the sharp edges. Merge is a human verb.
