Code review posts cover techniques for giving and receiving useful feedback on pull requests — how to catch real bugs, write actionable comments, and make reviews a learning experience rather than a gate.
A senior's checklist for reviewing AI-generated code, ordered by cost of error — the bugs that read perfectly and pass a normal eyeball review.
Before we closed on a seed-stage SaaS we asked Iurii to look under the hood. He gave us a written report in five days: what was solid, what was held together with tape, and roughly what it would cost to fix the worst of it. He flagged a scaling bottleneck in their database layer that the founders hadn't mentioned, and rated the rest realistically instead of either rubber-stamping it or scaring us off. That report changed how we structured the deal.

We were about to hand a project off to a new development team and I wanted someone to look at the code first. Iurii reviewed it and found a few things that would have caused real problems down the line. The new team thanked us for the cleanup.

I'd built most of our MVP with Cursor and it looked finished — it compiled, the tests were green, the demo worked. It just wouldn't survive real users. Iurii took it over and found what I couldn't see: authentication handled four different ways, tests that only asserted what the code already did, and a dependency list half of which was unused. He didn't rewrite it from scratch — he told me honestly what was salvageable, ripped out the dead code, and got it to something a real team could build on. Two weeks and it went from 'looks done' to actually shippable.

We had an acquisition offer on the table and I needed to know whether our own codebase would survive the buyer's technical review before I walked into that room. Iurii did a five-day independent audit and gave me a written report I could actually act on — what was solid, the two things that would raise flags in a data room, and what it would take to fix them first. He caught an undocumented dependency on one ex-contractor's private package that would have been a red flag the moment their team looked. We cleaned it up before diligence started, and the deal closed without a single technical concession. Best money I spent on the whole process.
