In my experience, code reviews are currently viewed as time sinks because of the cognitive load they put on the reviewer. I agree with the other comments here about a team culture that values code reviews as an important process. IMO, the tools surrounding code reviews can be improved. In particular, any time spent trying to make changes smaller and easier to follow is a big win. We use and develop DiffLens (https://github.com/marketplace/difflens) for this. As a team, it's made reviewing our changes easier and lets us probe deeper into the changeset. If your code base is mostly TS, JS and/or CSS, feel free to try out DiffLens! We're around to answer any questions or take feedback :)
