In my experience, code reviews catch a lot of bugs. However, if you find yourself catching the same kind of bugs over and over again in review you should be finding ways to catch them automatically without involving a reviewer (static analysis, tests, linters, etc.)


Completely agree on utilizing static analysis as much as possible. My first instinct when finding an issue in a code review is to think, "could we have caught this with a <lint rule> of some kind?"
