Code Review Kata: Practice, Reflect, Improve
Want to get better at giving and receiving code reviews? In this session, we’ll dive into the art of reviewing code in a hands-on and collaborative way.
What will we do?
You’ll work in pairs through several short sessions. Each will challenge you to think from a different perspective – as a developer submitting code, as a reviewer giving feedback, and as a recipient learning from the comments.
We’ll use an existing codebase to simulate real-world review scenarios. You might be implementing a feature and submitting a PR, reviewing AI-generated pull requests, or tweaking AI review tools to better reflect your team’s feedback style. As always the focus will be on learning through doing, discussing, and iterating.

What to bring
- Curiosity about what makes a great code review

Everyone is welcome
No matter your level – whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned dev – there’s something to gain from practicing thoughtful, constructive code reviews.
