Culture is made, it's not accidental. I would raise all these issues and more in group meetings. Try to get people to understand the many different benefits review brings to both the committer and reviewer - by having them state the benefits they want or could see getting. Talk about various kinds of comments (clear bugs, performance, style, robustness, factoring and organization, etc.), and the various priorities from no-action-required to nits to blockers. Talk about the priority of reviews themselves. Reducing the latency of reviews has a huge positive effect, ime. |

I'm starting to come to the opinion that nits are entirely and outright counterproductive in code reviews.
Since I learned about "Ship/Show/Ask" - it's drastically changed my view of code reviews: https://martinfowler.com/articles/ship-show-ask.html; I no longer believe reviewing every change is healthy, seeing the difference of other models I can tell it's actively harmful now. Another good approach IMO is allowing for post-merge reviews, 'ship/show/ask' is better, but why is it written in stone that a code review MUST happen before merge?
