Working in a team environment that makes use of frequent code reviews can be extremely challenging. Coders, like artists tend take a lot of pride in their work and the thought of frequent reviews can feel threatening. To create an environment where reviews are welcomed, adopting an egoless approach can prove practical.
To successfully achieve a comfortable review friendly working practice will take effort from both reviewers and reviewees. Some practice is also required until the reviewing process is just right. If the reviewer is too soft there is a danger that poor quality code could make it into the codebase, whereas if they are too hard the coder could become unnecessarily defensive or upset.
